Land banking is a possibility. There is a huge capital requirement to get into the land system or to get available land for a young farmer, and he has to make that outlay.
Loan programs have been used, but they still require repayment. The older generation, as was mentioned, has been financing a lot of the transfers. The older generation wanted to get some value because they looked at their land as a pension system, but for some reason land values continue to increase. It has just been reported that even though there has been decreased farm income, somehow the land values are increasing. It doesn't make much sense.
There has to be innovative programming in land transfer from one generation to the other. Land banking is one possibility; in the United States some communities have looked at land trusts in order to set up a system to transfer land, so there's one idea.
