I call BS on this. I grew up in the cotton/grain farming area of West Texas and NONE of the local "family farms" were less than 2-3 SQUARE MILES in size. You cannot make a living growing cotton, wheat, and milo on a 400 acre farm. Farms that size are hobby farms, not full time businesses. All of the families who were full time farmers had family corporations where 2-3 generations of a family were the stockholders. The corporation bought the machinery, seed, and fertilizer and if they made a profit, it was split among them and a surplus was kept for lean years. "Organic" farming is inefficient and has crop losses much higher than "industrial" farming, although industrial famers could, and many do, benefit from the addition of more organic (in the true meaning of the word) matter to their soils. Many of those family farm corporations are going on over 50 years now, going into the 4th generation of the same family joining the company. Some of my old classmates grandkids are part of the corporation now.
