The lazy socialist bum is concerned that more young kids aren’t excited about doing the dirty, hard, backbreaking work of farming.
Make farming more affordable? LOL. Clayton was (supposedly) HANDED A (supposedly) WORKING FARM, which means it cost him ZERO DOLLARS. It doesn’t get any more affordable than that. Instead of actually growing any food on that land, he gallivanted off to China to play with little Chinese boys for a few years. Then he came home and “organized” for a radical communist splinter group.
He did not farm.
So it isn’t “monopolies” that stopped him. It was laziness. He had zero interest in farming or ranching for a living, which is why mommy and daddy paid $80,000 for him to get a useless PoliSci degree. He only discovered his “love of farming” when he ran for office in 2020 and decided to fake a rural, salt-of-the-earth persona. It’s all bullshit.
He could have walked onto grandpa’s FREE land with the tractor DAD bought and all the existing sheds and fencing, etc already provided and then made a living for himself, theoretically (if he wasn’t a dunce).
But he didn’t. He choose to be a commie agitator and social media crybaby. The problem is, that pays nothing – which is why he still lives with mom at age 35.
Why doesn’t the socialist bum hand over his unused farm to some 25yo kid and let HIM put it to use? All Clayton does these days is drive 40,000 miles all over Texas with a baby beluga whale in the passenger seat living off of grifted donations from old ladies and eating Taco Bell. All while lamenting on social media about young kids not going into farming. LOL. What a chump.
Comrade Clayton probably doesn’t realize this because he is a moron, but….
The percentage of American farmers has plummeted from roughly 90–95% of the population at the nation’s founding (late 1700s)to less than 2% today. This dramatic shift was driven by industrialization, mechanization, and improved agricultural efficiency, reducing the workforce from 50% in 1880 to under 2% by the 2000s.
Key Historical Trends in U.S. Farming Population:
1770s-1790s (Revolutionary Era): ~95% of the population was engaged in farming.
1850: Farm people made up 64% of the nation’s workforce.
1880: Approximately 50% of the U.S. population lived on a farm.
1900: Just under 40% of the U.S. population lived on farms, and 41% of the adult workforce was in agriculture.
1920: The farm population dropped to 30%, and only 22% of younger-generation men remained in farming.
1950: The number of farms began to decline sharply after peaking in 1935.
1990s: Farmers made up only 2.6% of the labor force.
2000-Present: Less than 2% of the population lives on farms or is employed in agriculture.
Wow. We went from 95% of people doing backbreaking manual labor to only 2%. What a disaster! Weird that food got CHEAPER and FAR more plentiful over that same time period. Comrade Clayton is LUCKY that it went down this way, otherwise he’d DEFINITELY be farming right now or he’d be starving to death. He would certainly have no time to post commie garbage all over social media and pretending it’s a real job.
Moron.
You know who thinks farming is awesome? Hippie dippy chicks in Austin Texas with beads in their hair. They think that until they go volunteer at Johnson’s Backyard Farms and realize it’s fucking hard work, weeding the beds non-stop sucks, and you have to get up early and bend over a lot. Then it isn’t so fun anymore. The novelty wears off very quickly. So they quit that but then go on social media and blabber about how we need more farmers because they are silly twats, just like Clayton Tucker.
