I had no idea im not a farmer anymore.
Now what should i do with all these cows and corn?
Are you genuinely independent, selling your produce at roadside stands/farmer’s markets/directly to restaurants/etc., or are you under the thumb of Big Ag anyway* even though you aren’t literally an employee of them?
When I claim that the vast majority of people who call themselves “farmers” these days are in the latter situation, am I wrong?
(* Yes I know that’s about chickens, not beef or corn. Are you gonna tell me the agribusinesses concerned with those crops don’t have similar issues?)
