I think commercial farming, meaning farming to sell food, is highly regulated in America.  But I have been interested for a while in the idea of buying a small family farm to supply my family with food and maybe sell a little to people I know.  In Texas one can buy good farmland within driving distance to a city, so one could even work part-time in the city and then most of this money could be saved since a family farm would provide for most of one's needs.  The main problem is that I know nothing about farming.  But my brother-in-law does and I am trying to convince him to join us on a family farm.

Besides the economic advantage of growing one's own food, I also want to eat healthier food.  Corporate food had become very unnatural and unhealthy, especially the meat.

By the way, the video was great, a great example of how misguided liberal policies can harm the environment.
