Don't be fooled by the comments about population and food production. That's Thomas Malthus talking, and he was proven wrong about a hundred years ago. Large scale farming comes from one purpose; the American love of money and profit

@535Cummins That how you have to do it. You can't only look at a the negative side all the time, because everything has a down side, just some are not as noticeable.

Great to see that it is not the farmers fault we are trying to make a living, and this is how it has to be done, so many people would rather spend money on things they don't need. If people want small farms back they need to learn more about where there food comes from and be willing to spend extra for it. I farm and make $12k take home which is at poverty level but I do it so I can keep farming because I enjoy it. So before you look at the industry negativily look at both sides of the story.
