I understand the issues with getting young farmers, too, because I also look at my parents, who are 80 and 70. Farmers sell their land as their retirement package, and they retire in Arizona, or do whatever they do with that money. It would be nice to see a program that provided a kind of bridge for that.

I saw a hand go up, so maybe there is a program. Is there a liaison between those two groups now to help that farmer retire but also to keep the farms?
