Supply and demand however, is the problem. People want to eat a nice patty of beef and not one of soy. To the american society, it tastes better, so thats what they want. Farmers have to supply that, or go out of buisness.
Last I heard, pig prices for farmers selling to market are about what they were in the depression. That is a cent for cent comparison, think about that AFTER inflation, how is the small pork producer supposed to survive? They can't. Thats why my mother went back to work and my father quit pork and went all crops...these huge confinements are ruining the small farmer. However, that's the American way anymore it seems...
