That’s not surprising that it’s more expensive for smaller operations simply because fixed costs are spread over a smaller number of units. I can’t speak to the specifics in dairy, but for example with machine tooling - if a tool costs $1,000 and you make 100 units, that’s $10 per unit that needs to be tacked on. if you make 10,000 units with it, that’s $0.10 on the price.
Massive regulations and taxes, not to mention the precedent by Roosevelt of banning the growing of crops for farm use (like dedicating a field to alfalfa for your own cows). The big farms can get around the same way big manufacturing was able to get around - scale and bribery and tax evasion.
The little guy was fucked.
The U.S. was primarily small farmers right through the 50's. The Feds killed it on purpose.
@TrevorGoodchild@Thusnelda@Fash-E It'd be nice if they got rid of all the rent seeking middlemen as well so small to medium sized farms could afford to pay living wages to whites.
@Thusnelda@Fash-E "My business affairs are dependent on illegal coolie labor with the negative externalities dumped on native White locals" is not exactly the winning argument this bitchmade faggot thinks it is
As for farmers, it was this case specifically. It was a serious expansion of the commerce clause. It allowed the government to regulate the production of goods that were never put in commerce under the theory that goods affected commerce. It basically prohibited small farms from growing for their own use in some instances. The power is applicable to any area of commerce that government may want to regulate though.
Yeah. I can't think of any right greater than being able to grow for for yourself. I mean... we could argue about zoning laws, but here it was ag land.
