The average American is now 4 generations from the farm. Thanks to the Nixon Administrations moto of “Get Big or Get Out” in regards to farming this gap will only grow. People really have no idea what goes on at a farm anymore.

Almost all of our meat now comes from four meat processing companies, most of whom hire illegal labor. The pictures PITA gets are from these huge operations, not from your small local processor or someone who does farm slaughter.

I have no problem whatsoever with big farms or “corporate farming”.

All good points, Colvin. I would guess many of our younger generations have never seen a farm or ranch other than on TV.
