There is only fraction of the nation’s population who are farmers. One hundred years ago nearly ninety percent of the population were farmers. Today it’s about two or three percent. It may sound harsh, but if some farmers can’t make it, there will be others to take their place. Who sheds tears for all the tiny mom and pop grocery stores that went out of business when the big chains moved in? If certain industries can’t make a living without breaking the law, they shouldn’t be in business. That goes for farmers or any other industry.
Absolutely, and you didn't even mention subsidies and price controls. The relationship between the government and farming is economic fascism.
