I don't see an free market approach that will stop the decline in family farms. The Republican party is inept and careless about her natural allies and the Socialist feast on the revenues(especially the Death Tax(inheritance tax) that is ruinous to multigenerational farms like ours.
The GOP and Dems both report to the same financial oligarchy.
Government does not control the oligarchy, the oligarchy controls it, by controlling politicians. Why are so many politicians so corrupt ? Because those most corruptible are the ones the big money backs.
Think about it for a second. Government spending enriches big business. Why would "socialists" want to enrich big business ? Answer: "socialism" or "the left" is a front for the financial oligarchy that rules the nations. In a two-party country like America, an opposition party is needed. It - the "Republican" party - can be backed overtly by wealthy elites and be presented as the party of "business", while the wealthy elites' backing of the Democratic party needs to be more covert, due to the obvious hypocrisy of it. No problem, since wealthy elites control boards of trustees of schools, as well as boards of directors of entertainment and news media companies, the policies they set allow the "populace" to be easily convinced to ignore the hypocrisy of wealthy people supporting collectivism. The "populace" is kept obediently under control of leftist organizations and they amazingly continue to pay their own hard-earned money to the entertainment industry to see and hear their beloved wealthy, hypocritical, "leftist" entertainers, who are actually nothing more than desperate, ignorant whores, enslaved with a relatively small amount of money, debauchery, attention, etc.
The Republican party will never, ever do anything other than slowly march us all towards new world order - right along with the followers of the Democratic party.
Unless you or a group you belong to figuratively "own" a politician, you have zero representation in government.
An example of the financial oligarchy's control: if a farmer borrows from a bank in the Farm Credit System, he is borrowing from the oligarchy's banking syndicate, just as much as if he got a loan from any other bank for a personal loan or auto loan. Almost all of American capital is under the control of boards of directors controlled by the oligarchy. If you own all your farm and equipment outright or only borrow privately, and invest only in privately held businesses, then you're minimizing the "yoke" placed around your neck by the oligarchs.
We must always remember that in business bankruptcy, debt represents a claim on assets that is satisfied ahead of the claim of owners.
Owners get paid last. Debt must be paid, otherwise owner is not paid.
Ownership can quickly evaporate if a business is in debt up to its eyeballs.
The "little people" are kept ignorant of where the capital is and who has claims on it and who decides how it will be invested, and what the control of capital means directly in their lives.
Regarding the "death tax", there are various techniques to avoid or minimize it, notably life insurance (that's why proceeds remain tax-exempt), trusts, etc. It's perhaps a little unnerving for most Americans to make such moves, but the wealthy have always made a habit of avoiding taxes. It's not done in one year, though, it's a matter of preparation and it may involve taking some big steps and thinking far ahead with multiple professional planners.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

Again(this is rare on FR) I agree with everything you posted.

I'm a big skeptic about most "conspiracies" but after all these years of observing politics I believe that's more truth in this one.
Election after election, despite whoever in office and agreement(at least on the surface) nothing ever gets accomplished on the big issues on the day.
