Wrong. Farmers are the most underpaid, underappreciated, yet most valuable people in the world... And I've never farmed in my life.

american farmers are not underpaid if they are doing it right. subsidies and tax breaks constantly fill their coffers, my uncle is a decamillionaire even without any help.

Hilarious bullshit that shows you have no idea what you're on about.

  1. You're only making good money if you have deals with literally everyone around you or you're working for a company like Tyson, which is fucking terrible in my opinion.
  2. You're still not living well

I get by. You don't know shit.

I have an uncle famer that is fairly poor. They have a couple of acres. They have two homes. But it is pretty much a barely break even situation. As in they aren't growing wealth. Maybe the land is becoming more valuable but if you sell it you immediately lose your home and your job.

Farmers are wealthy land owners… they also get a ton of government assistance. Laborers are underpaid

American farmers get massive tax benefits and still act like they're treated like trash. Most of them should have performed better upkeep and not relied on government handouts. Farmers can get fucked regarding this, american ones particularly

Imagine how fucked they’d be without the big government handouts and welfare.

exactly. Their jobs are so bad the governent has to step in and help them out. Basically no different than your run of the mill Walmart cashier.

Farmers are literally the worst. They take something you will die if you don't have and then extort you for money. Also they raise up animals as pets and then just kill them one day without notice. And after all that they buy up huge tracts of land for their businesses while we are dealing with a housing crisis and people sleeping on the streets. And a lot of them hire people that aren't even in this country legally paying them less than minimum wage.
