how much land your daddy got, and what is he growing/raising chairman mao?
#165
Post rating: ~
300 acres between him and his brother. most of its pasture for the cows but they've got about 50 acres that they rotate between corn soybeans wheat and alfalfa depending on the market plus another 25 that they plant with a bunch of different market vegetables. we also have a really old and ill-maintained apple orchard that great-grandpa planted, it hasn't been pruned for decades and is overgrown as shit. dad wants to tear it out and start over, it is my fond dream to turn it into a forest garden and raise specialty fruit for the farmers market yuppie crowd

oh yes the son of a long line of dirt farmers is now landed gentry, i have been laid low by the vanguardist dog walker who only owns two pairs of pants

300 acres of improved land in shenandoah valley is probably worth at least... two million dollars? two and half? Your family is not exactly bad off, in fact you openly state they are sucking the land dry to sustain their idiotic, untenable "family ranch" lifestyle. You might as well own cattle on a swatch of burned down Colombian jungle.

300 acres is 121.406 hectares, which is 12 time the limit a family could hold in Yugoslavia. Your family would have literally been shot for being kulaks. In comparison, my cousins live off of 5 hectares.

you've eaten pretty well from your father's table, if you're so against it why don't you go put a stop to it? because you had to get flown all the way to a narcostate with multiple american naval bases before you could summon the courage to make a difference?
