      In general I think organic is silly, but if that comes with free range included, huge win. Chickens that eat bugs and grass have MUCH better looking eggs. Lots of micronutrients for baby's developing body and brain!

      Whenever I stand in front of the eggs section at the store I see the difference in prices and then imagine sick, dying chickens crawling over eachother in a cage and immediately drop all qualms about buying pricey pastured eggs.

      Animal ethics are a big reason wife and I moved to a farm.

      One of my biggest greivances against the state is how USDA and FDA collude w/Big Ag to industrialize all agriculture and make it impossible for bacon from your neighbor's hog to be cheaper than bacon from some industrial shit pit.

      I think economies of scale will do that without FDA help, but...yes, why make it worse?

      USDA enforces economies of scale. For instance Joel Salatin talks abt how in order to sell his bacon it has to go through USDA inspected facilities. Naturally, these are only designed 4 industrial producers. He's forced to have all these extra touchpoints.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUe8SNvple4 …

      USDA enforces scale...but economies of scale exist in every industry, and existed before USDA did. Even without USDA, you think I can raise 3 pigs as cheaply as a big farmer can raise 3,000 ?

      Economies of scale definitely exist, I agree. Maybe not three pigs, but 100 pigs w/virtually no capital infrastructure vs. the capital infrastructure needed to raise and manage 3000? I think local meat could be very competitive.

      I'd like for you to be right, but i don't think you are. Fencing prices go up linearly as area enclosed goes up to the second power. Feed prices give discounts for bulk. 40 hr / week staff easier to hire than 5 hr. Etc.

      True but also diseconomies. 3000 means effluence management, disease mgmt, large tractors/semi w/trailer + maintenance + transpo costs of hundreds of miles - retailer/wholesaler's cut. Much of this system is subsidized as well.

      Those aren't diseconomies, those are economies. 1 big tractor for a huge farm requires 1 driver, more efficient than 10 small tractors with 10 drivers.
