[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1570257, member: 24583"] I don’t know how to comment on this without breaking the rules. So I will simply say that there are a lot of empty promises being made in order for politicians to get where they want to be. I’m not promoting monopolies. But Big Ag is not the biggest problem. The MAIN, not the only, reason “small farms” are failing is bc most of us want too much out of life and that usually takes more money than a small farm can produce. Farmers in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and even early 90s farmed to survive. Most of us these days want more than just a simple living. You can’t farm 400 acres or have 50 cows and live in big new houses with diesel trucks, new cab tractors, and all the toys to go with it. Throw in a 401k, health insurance, and vacations and it just won’t work. Times are changing. Always have been. It IS NOT going to go back to the way it used to be. Even though I sometimes wish it could. The other big player is that everything just simply costs too much. Just my :2cents: Probably worth exactly what it cost to read it. [/QUOTE]
