A guy cannot raise two hundred head of sow and make a living today, like they could in the past. It hurts the wildlife too because the agri farmers take down tree belts, and farm right up to the road side. Modern large scale operations for agriculture are not making this country a better place to eat or enjoy the great outdoors.
