I think there are many groups that do not even understand what they are accomplishing. What will happen is agriculture will be impossible to fit into their agenda, and will leave the country. Essentially they will ban agriculture in this country, but even they don’t understand that is what they are doing.
The rapid acceleration of mega farms is because of the regulation and restrictions and govt ‘help’ that these groups are demanding.
I would venture many of the responses I have gotten are from people who don’t see themselves in the mirror, and I’m not gonna bother trying to fight that darkness.
It is there, none the less.
When I was a kid every third farmer had 40 hogs, and every third stop of the bus it stank like crazy. But no one noticed because it was so common, everywhere.
Now a days I can see 5 hog barn setups of 5000 hogs each from my yard. It smells 3 days a year; when my one neighbor summer applies hog manure to another neighbors alfalfa fields, can’t incorporate.
Only way to clean up the air was to get rid of the little hog farms and make rules that only a super large operation can afford to follow.
Now that is mostly accomplished, so now it is time to go after the big outfits, there are so few easy to shut them down and let hogs be imported.
New tractors have $15-20,000 pollution control equipment on them that requires more fuel use to cycle the system. How many of you can run a 40 acre 40 hog farm with that overhead?
What markets are left, who buys the farm stuff? Who gives a darn, just buy groceries from the store anyhow, can drive there and back without those darn farmers on the road.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
