Has the American small farmer ever been able to make a living?
- jacquesm 11y agoSmall time farmers in NL have cash crops growing in their attics. It is quite amazing how many people will consider doing something illegal if it makes enough money. Even people you'd never expect it of suddenly become experts in photosynthesis and hydroponics. Who'd have known that so many people discovered that they had green fingers after all when they can't distinguish a weed from a crop plant under other conditions.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI suppose they're also about to become experts in thermal insulation and waste heat management, given that some people got busted when their roofs suddenly become the only ones in the neighborhood that didn't accumulate snow in winter.
- WJW 11y agoOnly because it's still illegal to grow it legitimately. How many of those small time farmers will keep doing it (for the money) when the government finally gives out some licenses to farm it commercially and the bulk marihuana price becomes a hundred to a thousand times lower?
