    Most small farms have had to sell to larger farms too. It’s like comparing a small town general store to Walmart, and saying they’re better off working at Walmart than owning their own stores.

    Back in the 1800s you’d have 10 people raising 10 acres each. Now we have farms with thousands of acres where the person who owns it has never set foot on the property.

    Those are the people exploiting our legislative and tax system.
