Not true wheat and corn sells for less than tobacco. The grains that you use everyday, all the time, sell for the cheapest. Not only that but we buy 200+ acres of land, combines for 200,000 dollars, plows, semis, etc. Non stop all day everyday we work. If we have a bad rain then we dont get paid that season. Farming sucks.

What I'm trying to say is that tobacco farmers are exposed to way too much nicotine, I'm not just talking about money I'm talking about health
Have you seen a farm, even a small one? Of someone sold their farm of few acres and their equipment they would be millionaires. Farms are worth a load of money, especially if your land is in good spots
What I'm saying is. If you're selling acres or equipment you won't always get what it's worth. It's more of a get what you can get or keep it kind of thing.
That's because in some countries, some farmers supply themselves with the food they harvested. Which makes them poor because they only met their basic needs. But most farmers are not poor.
The problem is that we now think that food will never run-out, so producers have to put lower prices to keep producing and winning money rather than get more money for it
In Spain the government decided to take out the subsidy for milk producers and they had to impose a price floor so producers didn't have to leave the market
That's a completely unfair comparison! Comparing farmers to corporations. Food corporations are also millionaires. Alcohol & tobacco is also made from ingredients gained from farming
