I don't understand either, everyone wants to be paid more but this is a demonstration of the power of rural America.
I read in a response that the alternative is conglomerate corporate ranching, that's because they have the necessary resources to protect livestock and withstand financial shocks. The article points out high real estate prices because people buy homes for recreation, it makes it hard for ranchers to hire employees who can afford to live in the area. We can import meat from nations that lower costs with more abundant housing.

Once the trade routes are disrupted or political embargos hit, suddenly you have 300 million mouths to feed and we can't get critical staples to feed them. Having local production is a national security defensive measure. It makes sense not to JIT our food supplies.
