If I may make an observation, before you must leave, I think what we
have experienced is a clash of cultures. My culture is one of fixing
problems, your culture seems to be one in which fixing blame is
imperative. Perhaps if we both keep that difference in mind we will
leave less room for future misunderstanding.

you culture is one of someone who turns up to work in the secure
knowledge that their working presence is enough to entitle them to a
salary. How can you expect to cope with understanding someone whose
entire life savings and asset base are locked into their business?

I spent the the last part of my life making thing work as well and I come to
an entirely different conclusion over here. With low interest rates
investments in irrigation systems are quite attractive from the landlords
and the tenants point of view particularly when you factor in the benefits
of no till cropping. It can increase my income by a factor of 2 or 3
including payments and decrease the farmers per unit costs about 40%.

I am not just talking either we are spending real money.
