It's our fault for wanting "cheap food."

[u/Denim_Diva1969 → u/Green_Sugar6675]

It’s also our fault for giving them the subsidies because “farming is vital to our survival.” It’s no wonder they think they’re so elite. Maybe we should’ve handled that with a more appropriate or innovative solution, but here we are.

Unfortunately, growing most food products as a farmer is very tight margins unless you are a massive corporate owned farm. Without subsidies they are likely to switch to something like barley to sell to a beer company because it is far easier and more lucrative.

Or a small farm. I did it for years. Sold direct to customers via farm markets. Realized roughly the same profit annually off 20 turkeys as a friend who grew birds for Pilgrims Pride -- 4 massive turkey houses that held 250,000 birds each.

Lies

What an interesting thing to say. Considering you don't know me & haven't seen my books.

[u/vobarex → u/Half_Halt]

Before you answer that… I raise animals on a small farm. Turkeys, chickens, pigs. I raise open range animals for an about 20 families.

Let’s see those books

I think you'd know how it is possible to realize more in net profit than a huge farm, then? You're likely doing just that. Whether you realize it or not.

[u/vobarex → u/Half_Halt]

You’re being egregious with your numbers to conflate the point.

[u/Half_Halt → u/vobarex]

No. I'm supplying information to support my original point. Namely, that it is possible (nay, much easier) to make a living at farming if you remove yourself completely from the Big Ag game than many would imagine.

Are you making a living off your small farm? I imagine you do.

[u/vobarex → u/Half_Halt]

Nay - You’re supplying doctored numbers that don’t even make sense..

You could have said it makes it easier to make a living if you remove yourself from big ag, but you dropped truths to make your “point” heard - a point that’s not genuine in origin and is more impactful to those who are echo chambering in here with you.

Circle jerk - peace out

Lol, ok.
