"if you think all the ranchers"
Yeah, first off, I'm used to being wrong. Secondly, I'm not blinded by hatred. HDR already made that mistake.
Thirdly, I did mention a lot of
Big Whatsits, I didn't say everyone was a Big Whatsit, and I did agree with HDR that Big Whatsits do seem to be running small operations out of business. There have been accounts about this for many years, especially in farming in the midwest.

“Agriculture is sort of like the rest of the U.S. economy in terms of income and asset inequality—except more so,” he explains. With the focus on production and no safety net, smaller farms have sold out and relatively few big farms have expanded. In 2015, about 65,300 farms making over $1 million in gross income accounted for 51 percent of the value of all U.S. agricultural production. At the other end, the nearly 1 million farms making under $10,000 accounted for just 1 percent of production. As farms have consolidated and turned to technology to replace human labor, jobs have dried up, rural communities have shrunk, and isolation has grown".

"of course the system favors the rich. the more regulations that are in place the more it favors large multinational corporations. you need to hire all those lawyer's so they can navigate though all the laws and regulations, that ain't cheap. pretty much cuts out any small time operator".
In any case, welcome to the forum.
