The Farming Industry
Does the Farming Industry (either Agribusiness or Mom-and-Pop Farms) need help from the US government? Are farms in control of themselves? Are they as susceptible to corporate strings as the rest of the economy?

The farming industry has several problems First of all the food company is in control of the farmer and therefore the farmer makes a very small profit. The way things are farmed in the US needs to change. We feed our animals corn which is not all that good for them because they aren't meant to digest it. The US also grows too much corn and the government actually has to pay the farmers to not grow it. But they can't really do that because most of our food is a bi product of corn. The government should step in and impose new regulations on food companies. But this is very hard to do because we need large scale industrial farming to cope with our growth. |
