to be a methodology to the entire crisis, most farmers are ranchers, they have diversified, they have cattle and crops; but they also have debt, lines of credit to buy all the equipment, feed and seed which needs to be paid. When the market kills them, the crops fail or don't get a fair price, where do they get the money to maintain the farm? Eventually the banks foreclose as happened back in the dirty 30's, banks don't have emphathy, they also have bottom lines, shareholders etc.
When the banks are holding all this property on their books they want to get rid of it and they sell it to the highest bidder, and who will have the bucks to buy up the land, not another farmer, but corporations will certainly be able to help out the banks!
So when all the money for aid during the mad cow crisis went to the feedlots and packers instead of the farmer, well...if the feedlots are being owned by another country, who is controlling the process, certainly not the farmer! Our government has assisted in the demise of not only the farmer and his way of life, but essentially our entire food chain!
As has been said before there is more than one way to invade a country and take over it's people, land and resources.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.
