Baby Boomers hold more than half of America's household wealth, while many younger people see owning a home, let alone a farm, as out of reach. Is today's generational rift worse than in decades past? Vance Crowe, founder of Legacy Interviews, joins Damian to dig into what's driving the divide: inflation that rewards asset owners and leaves renters behind, the soaring cost of college, and farm programs that send the most money to those who already own the most land. So what does it mean for agriculture? Damian and Vance push back on policies that create special classes by age, from young-farmer incentives to property tax freezes for seniors, and look ahead to what happens when a massive amount of farmland changes hands. They end on realism and optimism: if the direct path into farming doesn't work for you right now, find another route. If this one hits home, share it with someone who'd benefit.
