Second Thoughts on "Industrial Farming"

I usually resist the meme among the food movement of dissing the "industrial farmer", ".  However, I saw this "Agrosecurity Checklist" on the extension.org site and noted the extensive references to "employees", which is a reminder that farming has changed from my mental picture of it.  I just don't think of farmers as having employees, at least not full-time employees, but many do now.
