"Agriculture is going to be the big thing in the next 20 years. The best thing you can do is to become a farmer, that is where the money is going to be made. It has been a disaster for the last 20 years, but farmers are going to be driving the Lamborghinis in the next 20 years."

maybe but it will be very hard for people who have never farmed before.. eventually they will suffer and give farming a bad name.. there are many obstacles in farming.. the highest number of suicide in India (a country with 1.5 billion people) are people who were farmers and the reason was their crops didnt yield much and they had pressures from bank for loan repayment, and in the end they had to choice but to suicide, not just alone but full family suicide..
this also shows how the so called Noble winning micro credit can be a double edge sword.. but oh well even Einstein got a Noble.. the same person who completed the final calculation of nuclear bombs..
Corporations own massive tracts of land around the world now. It's not the farmers who will be rich. Just the bankers all over again.
The banks always win. But hopefully farmers will make a few dollars too. Otherwise, there will be no incentive to produce food.
