How is farming organised over there, in that region? Is it a collection of individual farms? Big agriculture corporations with hired workers? Bit of both?
I have relatives that own individual farms in Kansas
Would you say they are a minority in the region? Or more of a staple?
Seems to be a mix but more individual where they are. you don’t see a lot of big corporate farms but I’ve heard them talk about the bullying pressure from ‘big M’ (Monsanto). It’s definitely a rough life and getting harder.
Thanks!
