I know this is not proper terminology, but roughly speaking, what percentage are large operations, significant companies, as opposed to “ma and pa” farms, which is what we tend to think of when we think of the family farm and helping farmers? What percentage is really not family farming but big agribusiness?
I know we have processing farms in Ontario, and they are as much a manufacturing plant as anything else; they just happen to be processing food. But the mechanics of what's going on is no different from making a widget. I'm curious, what percentage is large business versus “ma and pa” farms--if that's still the right terminology, if it ever was?
