I would love to see diversified farming — possibly on relatively small scales — all across this country. Have people own real property. Have them support themselves through their direct ownership of property. Good for people, good for food production, good for a resilient national food supply.
It would be nice if government and regulations didn’t make it hard. But Big Agriculture wants to stay Big and it wants to stay where it is. And Big Government will try to make sure that happens.
One of the reasons I prefer Meijer stores is the availability of lots of locally grown produce. For most of the year, all of the potatoes, carrots, onions, and apples I buy are grown within 30 miles of where I sit. I’ve also got a veggie farm at the other end of the lake that I visit a lot in the fall.
