>>> I know my cousins would get out, pennies on the dollar.

Most everyone would. Small farmers lose money. It is a given.

For the time I practiced as a CPA in rural Arkansas, the practice I took over had a large number of farmers. Most were very deeply in debt, were consistently losing money, and had no real hope of digging out. The one I can recall that really stood out was a superb example of how a small farm should be run, consistently made money, and five years later he walked away from it. I asked him why, he said, "I can make more money doing something else." (And I saw him recently, and he does).

The small farm is just at such a disadvantage I don't know how any of them make it.
