The Dems and GOP collectively have no real differences regarding agriculture and the way it is conducted. The only way to deal with this is a plan to encourage and deploy regenerative agricultural methods. Part of this, of course, would be both a goal and result of ending Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) or "feedlots" in the vernacular. It would, naturally, increase the price of animal protein products but the costs would actually be cheaper in the long run for the farmer. Part of any serious regenerative agricultural initiative would mean diversifying farming away from mono-crop industry to an integrated and diversified localized ag output...where rotating cattle (and other ruminants) as part of the crop rotation would provide the necessary nitrogen, urea, and carbon inputs into the soil as well as weed control. It can be done. It is, however, less profitable than Big Ag would like. Oddly, perhaps, is that Regenerative Agriculture is growing in popularity among Red state farmers.
