The Agricultural Crisis as a Crisis of Culture

The farming culture has changed throughout the years. The farms use to be small where families grew gardens, produced that own meat,milk, and eggs. They weren't forced to produce food and they produced only small amounts. Field work were mostly done by horses and mules. Farmers had lived the lifestyle they want and there was no one to control them or tell them how to farm their farms,plant their plants. In the decades since WWII, farms has changed dramatically. The government has pressured farmers to increase mechanize. Farms and farmers are starting to decrease. Their harvest are depending more and more on the people. Farmers start to worry about the money, producing and consuming wise. Nowadays there aren't any market that pay for minor produces. A few of anything wouldn't satisfy anyone, instead large production is required from these farms. The farming culture has changed a lot in the modern days due to societies demands.
