I honestly think that is an intentional part of these stories. They always say “farmers,” knowing it’ll conjure mental images of American Gothic–hard-scrabble people just trying to earn their way. When the reality is it’s just more shitty, corrupt carve outs for various evil companies. It’s another version of “protecting the children.” It’s never about that, but who can oppose it?
Yes, and the farming industry is getting its dick sucked all year long. Each year they get money for their shitty returns because it was unforseen and animal rights get ignored.
A typical pig farm is controlled ever 30 years or so. Germany has like the most fucked up animal rights in the EU and exports their cheap meat (produces by exploited workers from other countries btw.) into the rest of the EU.
It’s a disgusting system really. Fuck those “poor” farmers. Yes. Their life is shitty, but they should just stop exploiting the planet and do something good instead. Maybe or politicians and the industry would then learn something.
Aren’t most farms corporate operations now?

In Germany many farms are still family-owned.

Well yeah. Nobody cares about the family farmer.
