I’m always happy to hear another voice in the chorus about this topic. It has been discussed here for at least a year. The plight of family farmers has been a sad topic for four decades, the first Farm Aid concert was 39 years ago.
Maybe I’ve been around too long, but I’m suspicious of politicians who want to talk about decades old problems that never get solved. I don’t need the facts, I already know them, I know people who lost farms, I need to hear and see the concrete steps to turn this around.
What is going to be done to stop the dangerous centralization of agriculture, one bio weapon, a fire, or tornado at one of these mega-farms takes out a significant portion of our food supply. And, what is going to be done to inspire and invest in decentralizing farming and a new generation of relatively small farmers?

I can tell you what they do in the Pacific NW b4 the demons taking over and just buy out farmland to built apartments
I might be missing something because I am actually not a farmer but I do know some of the farmers in the areas.
