Do you think a farmer can get rich in your country?

I think that some farmers are able to make it big sometimes. Usually it'll be with a farm that has been in the family for centuries and with each generation they add new technology. It also helps when the farm can get a big-name company to buy their crops and use them in their products. So yes, depending on who buys the farmers' crops I think that some farmers can earn a pretty decent living.

As you had pointed out, a wise person who has inherited a lot of land can be a rich farmer.But , generally in our country, though it was predominantly agricultural ,there may not eb topo rich farmers.THe percentage of average and poor farmers may be higher.

yes, if they will own the land, they can be rich.

Most of the successful farming operations in the U.S. are very large, commercial farms and some of them are corporate owned. It's very hard for a small farmer to even make a decent living, let alone become rich. The costs of tractors, equipment, fuel and the land itself are prohibitively high and erodes the profitability of running a small farm. A lot of small farmers also work at a regular job to ensure a steady income. Some people are turning to a small farm but not for profit as much as a self sustaining endeavor for their family to live on. They are considered more of a "hobby" farm and can be done on a few acres of land and with older, smaller tractors and minimal equipment. While some of the smaller operations, if run economically, can make money, the owners certainly aren't going to get rich in terms of money. If however, one considers the fact that working the soil, living off the land, growing organically and producing wholesome, healthy products to live on can be a life enriching experience, then one could be considered rich in the sense of having a fulfilling and enjoyable life. I grew up on a farm but got away from it when I moved out on my own. I didn't really miss it at first but looking back on it, I have very fond memories of my life then. I intend to get back to it very soon and start my own hobby farm on 10 acres of land that I have. There's a certain peace that can be found in working the land and I think I will be much more content when I find it again.

In my view, it depends on what they plant in their own lands. If they choose to plant rice or wheat, it's quite hard for them to become rich. There are mainly two reasons: One is that the price of grain in my country is quite low. The other is that the land a farmer owns is very small. Farmers who plant wheat in US may have high level of lives, but don't forget that they could get a lot of subsidies from the government every year. If farmers choose to plant other crops such as vegetables and fruits, they could earn more money than farmers who plant rice or wheat. And a few of them will become bosses instead of farmers.

I think it's possible that farmers can be rich because they also have jobs and if they work hard enough, they'll be able to save up and use that money to earn them more money.

foreigners have it wrong about the US most farmers just about make ends meet here, there are a few millionaire farmers but they are corporations owned by more than one person. The US does not have streets paved with gold and most farmers are mot wealthy but just middle class people making ends meet but not having anything left over. I wish people would learn the truth about my country instead of overblown falsehoods.A lone farmer here in the U 'S cannot get rich but can make ends meet and sometimes lay money aside bu t rich no no no.

I can't say much about farmers, but in our country, the hawkers are richer than most who slogged their way to university to find a job, get married, and stay scared in the cubicle for the rest of our lives. They can command a pay-rise anytime, and when they do, it is in the order of more than 10%. How many of us get such increments. LOL. Given the analogy, I am sure farmers can get rich too...anywhere in the world. Food is becoming scarce. I hope you know what I mean.

Yes they can if they get a good education and learn how to use science and technology in farming.But in my country India,the situation of most farmers is as same as farmers from other developing countries.They are very poor if not then the lower middle-class.They are hardly able to make ends meet even for their daily food.

In America, if a person is a "farmer", then he is filthy rich. Because a farmer in the US actually owns the acres and acres of land. In my country (Philippines), however, very few "farmers" own the land that they farm. Usually, they are just laborers or workers hired by the owner. Therefore, I hardly think a farmer can get rich in my country simply by farming.
