    Is the film you are talking about a farm in Iowa that has been in the family for generations that the banks are foreclosing on?

    That's the one I'd say:

    I watched a good farming related film recently called Rams, think it might be a remake of an Icelandic film of the same name but the one I watched was set in Australia. Found it pretty relatable myself, the two bachelor brothers who won't talk to each other definitely reminded me of a few people I know 😂

    It's going on in real life at the moment, vulture fund trying to sell a farm in Co Offaly today.

    I think the auction had to be called off

    yeh i was trying to find it for a long time, i was really interested in the Farm Crisis of the 1980s in USA. I found a brilliant podcast called "Escaping 1980" it has a few episodes and goes through the whole crisis in a few episodes. I think I asked something on those lines a few years ago here, when I posed the question, what was the golden age of Irish farming.

    A large part of the reason that they can come in and make so much money here is because of the Banks' difficulty with obtaining possession of property when the borrower can't (or won't) pay. When the country makes it so difficult for the Banks then they aren't able to deal with it and have to sell the on to someone who will. The Bank just cuts its losses and sells the loan at a discount to what is effectively a debt collector.

    Don’t borrow money on a whim boys. We are and should be no different from any other business

    After watching it. Yes its a good movie. Tough getting in debt like that, we are lucky here that the banks are unable to foreclose on people

    Watched last evening, sad movie and how things can go pair shaped very quickly and a hard lesson I leaned many years a go that you won't find any solutions to your problems looking in to the bottom of a pint glass.
