        Because they have high fixed costs that have to be covered by cash flow!

        Because we need to subsidise farmers so they can sell dirt cheap food to third world countries to keep their farmers poor and fleeing to our borders for prosperity...so we can keep up our fake war on drugs and immigrants

        Subsidized industrial food production needs to be stopped if we are to have a nation state. American industrial agriculture exports to Mexico is responsible for the death of family farms that ultimately drove millions of illegal Mexican immigrants to the US.

        It's almost like it would be a good idea to give our farmers access to foreign markets. Say in Asia or the Pacific #TPPhttps://twitter.com/WSJ/status/962229245517889537 …
