I don’t farm, but I have friends who do.

America’s entire financial, trade and regulatory system, as well as society, are aligned AGAINST small farmers. the worst offenders are the FDA and USDA, who being government bureaucrats, can’t help but benefit large corporations above all.

Cattle especially. They take 18 months to reach maturity. Few young people go into the business. Small-scale, local slaughterhouses are closing. Environmental regulations are crazy.

Its no wonder cattle herds are at 60 year lows.
