One reason I'm skeptical of some positions taken by ag activists against "factory farming".
What we currently have in the country is the result of millions of decisions in the past. Within the memory of people still living most farms were small family operations, "small" at least by current standards. And they were organic, mostly. (I'm thinking of the 1920's.) So a very stark contrast to today's agriculture.
I think many activists would say 1920's agriculture was overall more desirable than 2020's agriculture. Accepting that position just for the sake of argument then raises the question: how do you put the toothpaste back in the tube?
