| Message | The current law allows for all sizes of farming, be they small or large. Also, why should a landowner who is operating a small, family farm be forced to merge with a larger conglomerate? |

| Message | Allow farmers to farm. Why break up a successful farm? |

| Message | "Why break up a successful farm?" - You've got it the wrong way round but the point still applies. |

| Message | "Large scale farming would be more efficient that small individual farms." This would be true if the government controlled agriculture, as it would eliminate waste. But since it is on free market system right now, competition is better for the consumer. What this bill would do right now is just make larger and larger companies at the expense of the farmers. |
