The original information came from the Farm Aid site, the link no longer provides the same information. But you are right, that figure seems not to be correct. Thanks for pointing it out.Fred Joanne:

Stories like Mike's are representative of many people trying to get into farming and it's important to tell them. Hopefully more change will come in order to make it realistic and affordable for those starting out. Some inroads have been made since this story was originally filmed, but more needs to happen.
