- maxerickson 10y agoReread my initial comment. Look for where I use the term. I avoided it on purpose because I think that part of it is a boring discussion. The majority of our food comes from huge farms running huge machinery. Thousands and thousands of those huge farms are owned by small groups (there's a few million farms in the US, so even 1% of them is still a lot). Are those groups families? Some of the are, some of them aren't.
- newman8r 10y agoone thing I noticed is that the document didn't define "family farm" to my satisfaction, but maybe I missed it. It is worth noting that my family/their farm qualifies some of them as 1%ers (bayfront house in Newport which has architectural significance, members of several country clubs, etc). Personally I have decided to forego 100% of my inheritance and let my sisters take it (I have no problem with being rich, but I do believe that having an inheritance hanging over your head is an innovation killer)
