Funny thing that many people don't realize is that commercial farms and family farms are one and the same. Thus, there really is no issue between them.

What most people consider to be a "corporate farm" (a farm which is owned and operated by unrelated members or a parent corporation) makes up approximately 0.3% of all US farms.
Many US Farmers have lost their family farms over the last 40 years because they could not compete with the big corporations
