Lowering barriers could spark innovation on the farm, or maybe just risk if not managed right. Balance is key in this patchwork.

This bill feels like a bailout for wannabe farmers, not a shield for real ones. The free market grows strong roots, not quick shoots.

Trimming the experience requirements sounds like a pragmatic fix to keep farms alive and kicking. Let’s see if it really brings fresh blood to the soil.

Cutting experience means less vetting—hope taxpayers don’t end up footing the bill for rookie mistakes. Farming isn’t a hobby; it’s a business.

Six months instead of three years? Could be the boost small farmers need, or just another quick fix. Time will tell.

Cutting red tape for new farmers means fresher food and fairer chances. Time to grow opportunity, not just crops.

Less time to qualify? Sounds like another step towards government handouts over hard work. Let the market pick the winners, not bureaucracy.
