A government that actually supports small, local, healthy farms over industrial scale agriculture would be a great thing, as somebody like Joel Salatin would counsel, I wish him success in the position. My fear though, I don't see the incoming admin actually doing that - a man whose only goal is to enrich himself and his closest allies won't have any incentive to make things better for the average and small market participant. More likely is they will disrupt the global trade markets and crash the ag economy here and then bail out the corporate farmers and continue adding to the national debt...just like they did last time.
I can't read Trump's mind. But, if he does as you say I think both Massey and Salatin have the cajones to walk as opposed to partaking in further destruction. Trump is not our savior, that much is certain. Time will tell. As the good book says, we'll know it's an evil tree if it bears bad fruit. I'm hopeful, but if bad fruit appears I won't be surprised...
