Interest rates are up relative to the last few historically low years, but right on long-term average. Real estate has continued to appreciate, so moving in this buyer's market makes sense.

The farmland market is entering one of the largest generational transfers of land ownership in history, largely driven by aging farmers and shifting demographics.

Paul Schadegg with Farmers National Company says that experts have been discussing this topic since the 1990s.
One of their assumptions, even back then, was about retirement. Experts predicted farmers would retire by age 65-- many now farming into their 70s.

"The heirs are further removed from the farm every year," Shadegg states. These heirs will not be as educated on farming as the previous generation, according to some.

This shift in ownership is going to impact who owns the land, who is farming it, and its value.

Good for Taylor.

Fun fact: United Country helped broker that deal representing the buyers.

Because the cameras have already rolled on that ranch once, and that is exactly what makes his answer so hard to argue with in either direction.

The Four Sixes sits near Guthrie in King County, Texas, and it is not a set. It is a working outfit stretched across three Texas counties, with cowboys, a horse program, and families who live on the place year round. Yellowstone filmed a season four storyline there. Jimmy Hurdstrom was sent to the Sixes to learn the work, and the planned spinoff was going to stay there for good.

That is the part Taylor Sheridan says he could not do.

According to coverage of his Rodeo Time podcast appearance, he said a series would mean trivializing and fictionalizing a place where real people work and raise their families, and that he could never do that to them, or to the cowboys who have given their lives to that ranch.

So the show dies to keep the ranch a ranch. Except the decision was made for those cowboys, not by them.

One side says he read it exactly right. A hit series turns a workplace into a destination, brings strangers to the gates, and the people doing the actual work become characters in somebody else's story whether they want it or not. The other side says the show would have put real ranch work in front of millions who have never seen it, paid a lot of those same people, and told the truth about a job everyone romanticizes except the ones doing it.

Nobody put the cowboys on camera to ask. If you worked there, would you have wanted the show? Tell us below.
