Not that it matters. Small farmers should and will go by the wayside, just like blacksmiths.

Your statement shows a lack of understanding in markets and food. There is a small, but growing demand for artisinal food products (and this includes organic produce from small family farms). As long as this demand exists, small family farms should and will exist.

Read my post again and this time without the eye for sensational catch phrases... radical and greedy were not the only words that I put
Sorry that I didn't bother to read the rest...
