THE PROBLEMS WITH BIG FARMS: industrial commodity farming and the decline of small farms
The problems with big farms and the ever-increasing scale of industrial agriculture are beyond a simple black and white solution. It's important to differentiate between the agricultural system itself and the farmers who work within that system. Given the choice of a world of small farms vs big farms, which would we choose? In this video I give my farmer opinion on the state of industrial commodity farming and the decline of small farms. It's been a long time since farmers determined farm economics and their own destinies. Instead, farms' success or failure are dictated by three main groups:
1. The large agribusiness corporations, including Cargill, Dow Dupont, Archer Daniels Midland, Bayer (Monsanto), John Deere, and Case New Holland
2. The banking industry
3. The government and agricul...

The problems with big farms and the ever-increasing scale of industrial agriculture are beyond a simple black and white solution. It's important to differentiate between the agricultural system itself and the farmers who work within that system. Given the choice of a world of small farms vs big farms, which would we choose? In this video I give my farmer opinion on the state of industrial commodity farming and the decline of small farms. It's been a long time since farmers determined farm economics and their own destinies. Instead, farms' success or failure are dictated by three main groups:
1. The large agribusiness corporations, including Cargill, Dow Dupont, Archer Daniels Midland, Bayer (Monsanto), John Deere, and Case New Holland
2. The banking industry
3. The government and agriculture subsidies, starting in 1971 with Earl Butz and the US Department of Agriculture
These large forces have combined to reshape commodity farming, and have pushed farms to be ever larger, increase efficiency, and decrease the price of commodities. Large farms' effects have cascaded across America, causing a growing disconnect of the population from their food supply, changing the rural landscape once dominated by small farms and small towns, reducing species diversity, creating a more fragile food system, and hurting food quality.
However, we should not blame large farms for the effects they have caused, and under no circumstances should we fault the farmers that are working within this system. Instead, we should be pointing the finger at the forces that have shaped modern farming. We should realize that a world of "get big or get out" is not necessarily better, and that economics is not the sole determinant of what is best.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
