Xelkelvos posted:At a certain point, small "family" farms will and should be phased out as they're proportionally more costly to operate compared to large, industrial farms. Not that they're any better, but they're more efficient what with economies of scale and everything. Obviously there are niches that can be filled by smaller types of farms because of certain specialties which require more attention than the hardier mass market varieties or have a smaller market cap or some other economic reason, but farming because the family's been doing it needs to be a thing of the past at this point. Of course everyone, private or public, who's into farming will pay to keep agricultural subsidies around, but I'd imagine enough of a PR campaign to paint it as a sort of government handout/welfare would sour any non-farmer on it a tinge. Hi. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3760900&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=108#post466651882 Saying that "small family farms" should be phased out, is basically the same as saying these people should be dispossessed and forced to work as agricultural labor for the land barons. If they're even rehired, considering the efficiencies in labor on an industrial farm. You're gonna need a better solution for this problem than the inevitability of progress.

got any sevens posted:Also there are some benefits of not mass-producing everything, you can spread out compost and pigshit, etc, so you dont make more of those pigshit lakes that will take decades to decay, and more seed variety and crop location mixing resists diseases. The issues that can only be resolved through socialism keep stacking up. Weird.

The wall is metaphorical. The wall was in our hearts all along.
