    Hey if it makes you feel any better, most farms are corporate owned and so they get to work in hot, back breaking fields for someone else’s profit instead!

      Most farms should be corporate owned in the US if for no other reason than to be a liability shield. The question is who owns the corporation and whether the workers are being adequately compensated.

        Who owns farms: overwhelmingly it’s inherited wealth in trust to avoid paying taxes and run by incorporated entities.

        Are the workers being adequately compensated… The answer changes depending on what color your skin is and where you were born.
