US government and politicians would not care if not for the greed of large food corporations lobbying for absurd restrictions that only large corporate farms can economically afford to follow. This effectively pushes small farms out of business and they eat gobble up the market share. On top of this, only about 15 cents of every dollar goes back to farmers, the remaining amount pays for processing and marketing. The US food system is insane and WAY overpriced, due in large part to corporate greed.
