If the truth be known the government would like to drive all occupations back
to the level of peasants except for the government and it's workers all
while expanding government to encompass enough of the economy that government
workers will play the major role in deciding any election. That way the
government can control elections with their employees and control the
employees with the threat of reducing them to peasants. The two major
problems are that any time the government takes something over it usually
screw it up so bad that it no longer works. Combine that with the premise of
man being a senescent being with natural rights and freedoms which would
indicate that either things taken over by the government will get so screwed
up there'll be a revolt OR man under the auspice of a totalitarian state will
revolt by violent or non-violent means to restore their natural freedoms.

I didn't watch the clip but my fear for farming is it's becoming a more
capital intense proposition. Combine that with more intrusive government
regulations and increasing taxation the trend will be for more and more farms
to become large corporate entities and more and more farming will occur with
hired managers and laborers.

I work on an egg farm, 4 1/2 million birds at our location. It is privately
held but still organized as a corporation, that way if someone dies or gets
divorced stock changes hands and the company isn't on the hook for taxes. Our
location is only one of several held by this company, this is by design it
has locations spread across Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. This limits the
potential for one storm, fire, tornado, disease outbreak, mechanical or
utility failure to turn off all our eggs supplied to our customers. The
ability to provide product regardless is a requirement for most food
processors of any size.
