This is a small business.
It is possible one or two customers (or some small number) make up 2/3 of his business.
If this farmer were near me I would seek him out to buy his produce.
I think it’s wise and prudent that you ask questions and would like more information. Even though most of us here would support such a business, in the words of Reagan(?) “Trust, But Verify!”
Ok thanks!
It is a projected loss based on contracts he lost from restaurants. I agree it is worded awkwardly in the article, but that is journalism today.
I believe those could be projected losses.
He had a couple of restaurants as customers. Leftists probably called them and badgered them into not buying from him.

I have a feeling that this went exactly as planned…
“Pride is the excessive love of one’s own excellence. It is ordinarily accounted one of the seven capital sins.”
“Pride is the queen of sin. St. Gregory the Great warns us: “For when pride, the queen of sins, has fully possessed a conquered heart, she surrenders it immediately to seven principal sins, as if to some of her generals, to lay it waste” (Moralia 87). Yet what are these seven principal sins that pride invites into the conquered heart? They are, according to Gregory, “vainglory, envy, anger, melancholy, avarice, gluttony, [and] lust.” They are the “first progeny” of pride, the offshoots of its “poisonous root.” As both Gregory and St. Thomas Aquinas note, Scripture teaches: “For pride is the beginning of all sin” (Sir. 10:15, DRA).”
“Aquinas, citing St. Isidore, teaches: “A man is said to be proud, because he wishes to appear above what he really is” (II-II.162.1). Aquinas comments that a man who uses his reason rightly acts “proportionate to him,” but pride causes a man to have a disproportionate understanding of who he truly is. Therefore, the self-understanding of the prideful man is contrary to his reason and sinful (CCC 1849). It is here we may start to see how pride opens the soul to a host of sins.”

Aquinas holds that pride is a mortal sin (II-II.162.5). He explains, “The root of pride is found to consist in man not being, in some way, subject to God and his rule,” and “it is evident that not to be subject to God is of its very nature a mortal sin.” It is in fact this unwillingness in man to submit to God and his rule that makes pride “the most grievous of sins” (II-II.162.6).”
