Factory farms are A-OK, but look at the multitude of issues that a (relatively wealthy) landowner faces in trying to make a more traditional mixed production farm be profitable in the current environment. Harry’s Farm and Clarkson’s Farm paint a pretty dark picture; it’s less risky/more profitable to plant flowers (government guaranteed income) than it is to produce food. Consolidation of abattoirs can mean that animals need long-distance transportation for processing. Dairy market rewards only factory sized production. Etc.
