One of the things that has to be recognized is that farming is a business. If we're not making a profit, no farm is going to stay in business.
If it's small farms that people want to protect, they're going to have to find a niche market that gives them high enough margins that they can stay in place. For those farmers who are more commercial, larger based, they're going to have to use innovation, technology, every tool they have to reduce their cost structure, so that they can be competitive on a world scale.
