[a fool in paradise]

In 1950, 20 million Americans lived on more than 5 million farms. Today, we have 2.1 million farms with just 3.2 million people.

It is Big Farma.

The Federal government has been using laws and regulations to force independent farmers to sell out to the industrial farming corporations for decades.

Independent farmers tend to be conservative, but regardless, they exercise personal choice in crop and seed. Monsanto hates that, and the government is in bed with Monsanto just as it is with Google and Facebook.

We already have fascism, courtesy of the Uni-Party and the apparatchik class.
