Why the Generational Bickering in Farming Has to Stop (Ep. 372)

Are boomer farmers actually greedy? Or are younger farmers stuck in victim mentality?

In Episode 372 of Farming Without the Bank, Mary Jo Irmen tackles the generational war in agriculture head-on — silent generation, boomers, Gen-X, millennials, and Gen Z. Young farmers say boomers are greedy for wanting top dollar for land. Boomers say millennials and Gen Z are lazy. Both sides are wrong.

Mary Jo breaks down why farmland is retirement, how auctions set the price, why no one owes you a discount, and how small to mid-size farms ARE making money when they run it like a business. Plus the rental house story, the free corn stalks story, and how to actually buy the neighbor's farm by building relationships and using buying farmland  strategies with farming without the bank .

Stop categorizing. Start building. Learn how to fund farm succession  and buy land without begging the bank.
