Economy

this would be the perfect opportunity to begin to break the cycle of completely giving our farms and industry over to corporate monopolies. We've all bought in to "cheap food," which is making us fat, sick, and leading to farms being consolidated. Yet, look at the quote from the farmer in the article, basically saying he can't farm without chemical fertilizer. I hear the same refrain in my area, whether it's glyphosate or fertilizer, other chemicals, whatever. Can't farm without em. Synthetic inputs and cheap food policy, which both parties have perpetuated since the 80s, is killing agriculture, consumers and the planet.
