Thank you very much for the question.
The one thing that I think is dangerous, as legislators, is to get confused on what the definition of a family farm is. Family farms can also be large. The average farm size in my neck of the woods is probably around 3,000 to 4,000 acres. There isn't a farm in our area that is more family than mine, and we're a 24,000-acre farm. It doesn't mean we're not a family farm. We're an evil corporate farm, by some terminology.
When you are looking at saving the family farm, I think you save enterprises, and have as many of them as you can, but do not use size. Defining five goats and three chickens as a family farm, and if you have 4,500 acres you're a corporate farm, I think is a fatal flaw in people's thought processes.
Family farms will survive by being profitable, and if that means being large, that's the way the market is going to push it.
