How much of the shrinkage in the number of farms is due to market conditions versus actions by federal governments under both Republicans and Democrats, even Reagan and Trump, that favored large agri businesses as opposed to family farms? The founders of this Republic, especially Thomas Jefferson, saw this country as being a mostly agricultural land, with the entire continent covered by small farms. They distrusted large cities and urban life.
farmland and forest land is being gobbled up by developers....the land is more valuable as a condo coomplex then growing beans and tomatoes....
Large Argi-Businesses are no different than Soviet-style Kolkhozes.
Me too.
