Small farms are being killed off by corporate farming and the enablers that are the republican party that basically are looking at small farms. And Wisconsin is. You talk about the dairy industry. We've talked about it on this show. Wisconsin has actually been decimated. Their dairy industry has been decimated by the pricing, which then led to the opportunist of large corporate farms, basically buying out farms, running farms out of town. Talk a little bit about this, because if we don't make a stand, at some point we're going to be down to 30 or 40 total corporate farms in this country, and there's not going to be really.
