” Over 90% of America food comes from family farms. “

It ain’t our Granddads’ family farm though - the modern family farm consists of hundtreds of acres, and millions of dollars worth of equipement and special-purpose buildings...

They’re ‘corporate farms’ in everything but name...

(My Grandfather raised three kids - sent two to college - and lived quite well on 80 acres in the 30s, 40s, and 50s..)

They’re run by families.

I know, I came from one and still have a lot of friends who operate these ‘corporate’ (LOL) farms.
