22. As a small family farmer, with only a few minutes at lunch today to read DU
I just want to kick this thread and this post especially.
Big Ag has been whittling away at the number of small family farms for decades (escalated during the farming debt crisis in the 80s, poignantly and persistently kept in the media by Willie Nelson and John Melloncamp with their FarmAid concerts).
The rise in demand for organics and a return to locavore eating has drawn some niche farmers back into the industry. Big Ag has been/is/will continue to fight back hard...
... but I'm not sure raw milk is the best area to have the fight over the demise of farmily farms.
