Iowa has lost 90% of its family farms in the past 40 years - 40,000 total farms, gone.
But hog industry profits have tripled.
All that profit just goes to 3 companies that now dominate every aspect of the pork industry.

Greetings, dear farmers. I see from the comments that you have very big difficulties with the land. I am from Siberia and I have a hobby of breeding horses. I have a lot of land for grazing and making hay. There are tractors and everything necessary for making hay. If any of you really want to start breeding beef cattle, then I can offer you this breeding here in Siberia on partnership terms. Our meat market is experiencing an acute shortage of meat, so this niche can be said to be empty and without competition. On my land areas You can increase the number of broodstock to 3000. Breeds such as Hereford, Galloway, and Angus are suitable for our climate. If you're interested, I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Write to me in the comments

I really do sometimes have a hard time watching these videos because you have all these "poor me" people who look like the exact kind of person that didn't want regulation, safety nets, job training programs, etc. Now that they're feeling the effects of that, they want to say it's not right, but can't actually think about how to solve the problem because they've been culturally trained to hate every solution. So instead they just fucking complain most of the time. That complaining part being what I see all the fucking time from my conservative side of my family. Can't think of a solution to save their lives, but they sure can bitch and moan about it. When you suggest something you can quickly tell they don't really want to have to consider nuance or be forced to think critically. My friend talks about the small town he's from dying and wondering when it won't be on the map, and I said I hope it's as fast as possible. 95% of those people vote for people that will fuck them and me over, don't want to think about how to make things better, and advocate for losing their own homes and having to options, so I'm not sad when that's exactly what happens to them. I care less about these farmers (statistically) than I do about the actual prices of food and the poor conditions the pigs are being put into. The farms had choices and voted in these people who directly assisting the people that are doing this to them. I and the pigs didn't have a choice since we don't live in that state....

What corruption? Farmers sold their land to Tyson or other entity and/or agree to terms with a much larger company. All of this was done voluntarily and without coercion. I'm open to being wrong about that, so I welcome evidence to the contrary. Everyone blames corruption or corporate greed while ignoring the 'greed' (I truly despise that word) of the small farms who willingly sold out. We have only ourselves to blame, but it's easier to point fingers at others than it is to take responsibility and do what one can to remedy/alleviate the problems.

I can explain what's going on very simply. My father was the second in charge of the 11 western states for the government back in the 60's and 70's for meat and poultry. What was happening was that small meat producers could sell their local produced meats for cheaper than the large companies. That's due to the small farmer not having the same transportation costs as these bigger companies. Not to mention a higher quality of meats. These big companies went to Washington DC and got the government to do their dirty work for them by increasing the rules concerning the manufacture of meat products. All these new rules were very costly to incur and most any small farmer couldn't possibly afford them. Thus, they went out of business. Leaving no competition to the large companies. This is not unlike the large oil companies that also went to D.C. and got the EPA to come down on all the independent gas station owners with new costly burdens which resulted in them also going out of business. In the case of the station owners the EPA forced them to change out the gas tanks that held the fuel at the station. At about 500k a tank they couldn't afford to do it. This has been happening in all sectors of our economy for 50 plus years.

We don’t even buy meat at the grocery stores anymore. Butcher Box only sources from independent farmers (free/open range, no antibiotics, no growth hormones etc). They process their own meats and deliver to our door as often as we want. It tastes so much better, I’ll never go back.

Sounds like a much better option for consumers who can afford it in this ungodly expensive world

@@jeffb321 just fyi, it’s a subscription and we set the dates as well as size of order. We are a fam of 4, two teenagers. Our order is usually every three months for $150-200. I think it’s cheaper than Costco.

@@jeffb321 Most people in the US have a butcher within a reasonable driving distance at least for now until the topic of this video is fully implemented. Buying directly from a butcher sources healthier local raised meat and is only slightly more expensive than buying from a grocery store. Anyone not living in a tiny NYC apartment could likely figure out a way to have a deep freezer full of locally sourced meat for less than they spent on their last smart phone or less than they spend buying things they don't need over the course of a month or 2 on amazon.

I'm getting beef from a local small grass-fed operation. You need a chest freezer for that.

I have watched a couple travel videos of different states and they mention it as a blight and when you see some of the decline of the farm communities this makes sense.Too much farming under one roof could be catastrophic thru close shop get bought out disease etc
