Yes, many farmers don't make any money at all. They struggle to keep their farm operating and making money to support their family. When a farmer has no other option of making money, they need to sell a portion of their land to make a profit.
Some farmers make a great deal of money. If no farmer received "as much as they should" we would have no farmers. Many farmers do so as a hobby. We only have a hundred acres or less and do not expect to make our living on farming. It is a hobby for us and we can do alright. Hay cost about $1.00 a bale to make and I get $3.75 currently. Can you triple money in a season? Farmers can do well and the wealth is in the land and property they own. There are many professions that pay worse per hour and the way of life is not as great.
