Dang, if it isn’t one way to destroy the American way it’s another. I’m shaking my head and doing a face palm at the same time. And now, the anger...grrrr.
You will not find heritage breeds being raised at the big hog farms but you do find a bunch of little guys with under ten sows raising them for the gourmet market and game ranches.
The guys who are just getting by and doing it for the love farming.
They also gutted the "right to farm" act so it does not apply to the little guys. Only the medium to large farms.
Not to toot our own horns but we are the ones keeping the rarer breeds of animals and plants alive. The Bradford Watermelon, the Ivan Tomato, The Kerry cow, American ginseng, American Guinea Hog, even the American Chestnut all us. The big guys may feed the world but we keep the gene pool alive and healthy so they have something to draw from.
It would be nice if they would leave us alone to do what we love.
