The super-city-powers are beginning to dictate how agriculture is managed. If I was raising chickens I could have no more than 5 in a cage in order to sell to MacDonalds. We have animal activists, enviornment crusaders, city (slickers?) who think they know how to run feed lots, but what no one really stops to think about is, you don't have to drive very far in the country to realize that cities are only tiny dots in the vast expanse of something.
I don't know of any land around here that isn't owned or managed by someone. Agriculture is in trouble because of the super powers and empires of the cities.
What does this have to do with PBF?
Nothing, except that sometimes these issues become like religious beliefs.proud to be a country folk and hope we are able to carry over into the next generation.
