Ya can of worms. Maybe a minimum payment so little guys get enough to pay the power bill for awhile. It was never and will never be fair. Life also it’s what we got come Monday however we want to think it should be.
We all make choices. The little guy doesn't have to settle for his lot unless he wants to. When farm expansion looked unavailable to me I started a side business that sapped up my available time. When farm expansion was avalilble a few years later my sons were old enough to help and made us be able to accept the opportunities. If not for the farm opportunities, we would have expanded and diversified the side business. The opportunity was endless, just depended on how long of hours we wanted to spend. I suspect a lot of smaller farmers like their lifestyle and lack of being bothered. That is great, I just don't get the negativity to farms that want to somewhat maximize their opportunities and penalize them vs. those that choose in most cases to do less.
Can someone explain to me
