Yeah, it’s share-cropping....but the college kids who designed this are too stupid to figure that out or grasp that they re-invented share-cropping. And for the refugees involved....in twenty years....they will ask how they got into a no-win situation.
Funny how we got rid of share-cropping by the 1960s, and it comes back again in the modern era.
Give them money and settle them in a farming, rural, location? What could possibly go wrong?
My dad sharecropped his small acreage to a farmer and the farmer was getting a good deal. Land rent prices were very high, but my dad kept the same agreement his dad had with the renter for years. He figured it was a way to help the guy out. He recently sold the land so that farmer was out of luck.
Yes and no, a lease is a set amount of cash, share cropping is when the landlord gets a percentage of the crop.
Landowner provides seed ,fertilizer, bug killer and transportation. share provides labor. and tillage.
Split proceeds of crop sales.
This was generally the way this was handled in the early 1950’s in the South. I spent the late spring and summer of 1956 in California’s San Juan valley so-east of Bakersfield where a good part of the farming was done on leased land in much greater quantities.
dear knarf,
re target practice .... it invites a few sparks of cerebral synapses.
and gun control
