    This is deliberate. They’re consolidating the grip of corporate agriculture. This will be a wealth/land transfer to the rich. Feudalism is back, baby.

    Remember that sooper-communist policy where the us government would buy surplus crops to ensure that too much was grown for the sake of having enough when there were bad years and crop disasters?

    Gosh I wonder which president got rid of it

        It was Clinton… Nixon began dismantling it, Reagan for rid of government grain reserves, and Bill Clinton scrapped the last remaining big reserve mechanisms with the 1996 “Freedom to Farm Act”. That law explicitly moved U.S. farm policy away from supply management toward reliance on global markets.

        When leftists tell liberals that Democrats are a different side of the same coin, it’s because of shit like this. Everything horrible were dealing with is neo-liberal policies set in motion decades ago, and was called the lesser evil at the time. We’re out of time, we need a revolution.

      More like big ag corpos could buy out smaller ag corpos.

      “Family” farms haven’t been family-operated in ages. Just family owned.
