Except that we need every vote in November. Hopefully, at can see the end game, and not have a tantrum.
I confess, I don’t know much about farm business, but I’ve heard for years, that most farms are owned by big corporations. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

A quick Google turns this up:

Family farms make up 99 percent of America's 2.1 million farms and 89 percent of agricultural production.Jul 20, 2017

That surprises me. I know corporate farms are on the increase and I'd have guessed they produce more of total US ag output than 11%. And, of course, many family farms are very large operations. This seems like good news to me if correct.

Goodlge: percent of US ag production by family farms

You can probably find some more interesting facts by scanning that page.
