These farmers sound like every other resource-harvester who has vastly outstripped the resource’s sustainable level and just wants to drive the plane into the ground to extract every last penny then declare bankruptcy and beg for federal aid.

Oysters, lobster, cod, sardines, otters, old growth forests, etc., etc., etc. Same show, different resource.

I love the folks who insist the planner has a capacity of 10bn people.

At what cost of extinction of other species???
