     @Shadowman311 More of an indictment of zoomers, because this is horribly written.
     
     How much land does this hypothetical krautling think he wants to work without employees? Because you fix the economic situation by BEING an employee instead of some degree wagging faggot. Like half the coffee shops in my city are failing because some faggot expected it to work like rental income, 90% no-show cash machine.

     @RogerFalcon @Shadowman311 What has any of that to do with the guy getting an agricultural degree that would be compatible with his family's agricultural business? Why would the kid be just another employee in his own family's business?
     I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

     @Shadowman311 There are a lot of glossed over factors here, I'm sure just for the narrative. So half the land was sold, the other dude is farming his half no issue. Honestly it sounds like the typical Zoomer rage quit, where did the educational funds come from? (half the land?) can you buy more land after making farm profitable? (yes). Imagine how small the land would have to be for selling half of it to totally kill the profitability especially with things like greenhouses, micro greens, and chickens... it was licenced agro land... Every generation has its shit tier people, but this story makes it look like that family just got it back to back. On the other side, selling half the land was a shit thing to do unannounced especially without explanation (which seems severely glossed over).

     @machevelian @Shadowman311 Yeah, you don’t know much about running agriculture for profit.

     “dude lmao just buy more land”

     woah, simple solution, he should’ve thought of that!

     “Selling HALF the land kiss profitability? Imagine how small it must be”

     Have you ever run a business? Nobody can afford to trim 50% without cutting into bone.

     I know guys who are “rich” farming, where their gross income is north of a mil….but take home is less than a wendy’s franchisee. THAT is how farming goes, and that’s over here where you get subsidies and special treatment. I have little doubt the guy lopped off any chances of sustainability when he sold off half the fucking land.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @machevelian @Shadowman311 Also, IIRC college in Germany is free for German citizens. So even the excuse of having to sell to cover educational fees is bogus.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Shadowman311 So first of all the is zero numerical information, if this is even real and not a completely fabricated narrative. Thus the reason I lead with what I did. I assume your real issue is that I said 'typical zoomer Rage quit' and not anything else because your rage fest kind of sounds retarded. One can be highly profitable on 1-2 acres of land (realistically less than that), dude went to school for it supposedly, you would think if he wanted to he could slide the pieces together to make something work. The other dude that snagged the other half seems , according to the narrative, to be doing ok. Ya, Bavaria painful to operate in, and I don't know how crazy it has gotten since I left 23 years ago, but according to this narrative he had something and he just tossed it 'cuase he was pissed, that's a rage quit. Half the land=half the taxes=half the labor, ya I'm sure there could be reasons why it would be untenable but there would also be ways around those.
     
     'Less that a Wendy's franchise' being your low point:
     
     Franchise-Owned Restaurants
     
     Number of Restaurants: 5,241
     Average Annual Gross Sales: $1,750,838
     Median Annual Gross Sales: $1,668,908
     Range of Annual Gross Sales: $411,237 to $5,099,354
     Number and Percent of Restaurants at or Above Average: 2,294 (43.8%)
     
     gross vs net is always a thing in any business, that statement makes you look silly. That's ok, I still like most of your stuff.

     “One can be highly profitable on 1-2 acres of land (realistically less than that),”

     Guy? This is insane. I don’t know where the hell you live, but we’ve got small land holdings being worked in our family and they’re hobbies, not jobs. The best years will net a few hundred bucks of profit. Unless you’re growing weed there’s no way you’re making a good living on 2 acres.

     He’s right to walk away, if he stayed his dad would fritter the money away and then sell it anyways. Why waste years of youth in an economic death spiral for someone who didn’t return that family goodwill anyways? His dad didn’t even call to talk it over? Didn’t bring it up to his son at all, trudged ahead with selling it, ignoring any duty or stewardship over that land… and you think the SON is pouting because he’s walking away from a bum deal?

     What would have happened is he would give it a try, wasting his time on a dying farm, trying to balance the books in a constant losing battle until his dad sold another plot, then another, just to keep his retired ass afloat. Then he’d be out doing a career change, more youth wasted, more career momentum spent on a dead end.
