Understand most of these "farmers", especially ones who farm soybeans and corn, ain't little red barn types anymore
They're no different than most corporations. The ones that are left are also predators. The giant plots of land they've accumulated over the years came to them on the cheap at the cost of their neighbors livelihoods. Co-ops, which used to protect small family farms by basically "unionizing" them and giving groups of farmers a single voice were wiped out in the 80's. Usually the biggest landowner of those Co-op's scooped up the others as the smaller ones went bankrupt. You need HUGE chunks of land to survive a market that has surpluses so large anymore the commodities they produce would sell for a penny a ton without gov't subsidies. Those subsides didn't kick in until the little red barns were gone and multi-millionaires replaced them. Its repuke piss on the canopy economics at it's finest.
Now the reasons rural communities vote repuke are lack of such subsidies for their education, poverty and plain old fashioned bigotry. They need to blame someone for their misery
