[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 901376, member: 13254"] The overwhelming majority of farmers within a hundred miles of my town are cotton farmers but the principle is still the same. If they do not make a profit, they can not stay in business. The numbers of the true family farms are dwindling rapidly, mainly because making a living on small acreage farms just is too hard to do year after year, plus so many of the current farmer's children are not going into the family business of farming for that very reason. Those lands often end up sold to or leased by corporate farms, which increases the subsidies paid to the corporations. Another vicious cycle. [/QUOTE]
