Jul 2018

the repukes like to make us all think that the "farmer" in this question is some guy working his family farm that's been in a family for generations!!

but less than 3% of the farms out there actually are owned by actual "family run" farms.

the other 97%?

corporations. massive corporations. Agra-corp, Cargill, etc.

this is nothing but corporate wellfare.
