Who cares? This isn't the 1700s. No one buys food from farms anymore. Just go to the local supermarket or grocery store.

lol

Independent farmers are a meme at this point, you can't compete with the scale of big ag. The last remaining farmers will sell their farms to big ag or real estate developers because none of their children will want to inherit the low profit subsidy-dependent business and all the remaining farming work will be done by illegals.

this image makes me sad :( it feels so old and kind hearted as opposed to all the mean internet stuff now

>>19567251
society, internet included now, will keep getting worse until we die or it dies
feels bad man

>>19567161

probably only rich people will have real farm food, everyone else will eat mass produced crackers and ramen

we already outsource most of our produce demand to mexico. all farmers in the US farm are grain, dairy and meat. we might start buying pork and poultry from mexico and china, but honestly this probably just means lower quality goods from larger scale operations, and price hikes. americans might start eating fish again, shitty farmed fish like catfish and tilapia

Farmers who are 40 now will take their place, duh

You know the whole "thvs of then, hence of now" meme, that young people convince themselves is proof that all new-hating is just generic culture clash? I'm starting to understand that what it really proves is that there's no such thing as rock bottom. Things will just get worse and worse and the only limit to how bad things are going to get are the physical limitations of the universe. And those are surprisingly pliable.

that's approximately the average age of a white person in America
pure coincidence

Basically this also farm land is expensive as fuck.

Invest in real estate. God's not making any more of it.

>>19567161
most farmers are part of megacorps or substantially in debt from their million dollar tractors/equipment they can't even repair without permission. what will happen is the same thing that's happening to housing, megacorps will buy up everything and you will enjoy your AmazonFarms produce from your AmazonHomes apartment

>that picture
It makes me laugh that preserving a sliver of nature is considered a totalitarian nightmare by certain Americans.

>>19567161
We will have to get our food from the store

>>19567161
>What's going to happen in 20 years when they're all gone?

Whatever land that isn't inherited or otherwise passed on to children, grandchildren, etc..(Which will probably be a lot for this reason: >>19567220) Will probably be bought by companies or corporate entities who'll just cut the middle man out entirely and have every single aspect be it's own individual thing done by contracted workers. They'll pay somebody some pocket change to seed, another to weed, the irrigation will be automated, then they'll get illegals to pick the crops, etc.. etc..

>we might start buying pork and poultry from mexico and china
>China

Won't happen. Market doesn't work like that way with China and pork.
China is the number 1 consumer and importer of pork on the planet- it has big cultural importance to the Chinese people. They produce it in massive quantities, they buy it from America and Canada, and they consume it all themselves.

>>19567445
they're in debt to everyone
including the government
they all use farm loans like nigs use crack
and they all use illegal immigrant laborers instead of paying real wages, while LARPing as based conservatives and expecting people's respect because hurr durr i grow da food
also, it will not be admitted ever but most ranchers are jews

they can't go straight to hell fast enough

it might be an /x/ image referring to the alleged DUMBs (deep underground military bases) connected to paranormal shit, missing 411 cases etc.
or just a Terminator fan with photoshop

>>19567193
and where do you think the food at the grocery store comes from?

>>19567161
the world will be a better place.

CSAs in the places that care, big ag in the places that don't. Most farmers are leveraged up to the gills to afford their insanely expensive harvesting equipment and don't even own the land they farm on, so those lands will go fallow when they pass. I expect at some time in the near future we're going to see a major push from the USDA and farming organizations nationwide to reach out to the urban poor and get them to move out to the country for farm jobs. We'll probably get another CCC/WPA when a president finally realizes that public infrastructure is fukken crumbling
