If government were out of the picture would small-scale farmers be better able to compete with Big Ag? If you were making policy, what would you have government do instead?
2. Right to repair. Seriously, they cannot repair their own equipment.
3. Add legal protections against GMO companies. Or other large private companies. More than a few small farms have be buried in legal bills.
4. Stop putting corn ethanal in gas. Its a poor use of fresh water. It’s provided almost universally by large farms. It reduces the quality of gas. We are much less dependent on foreign energy than when this was put in place. I guess this one will mostly sort itself out with electrification.
5. Universal healthcare. Or affordable healthcare for small businesses in general. Farming is very accident prone work.
6. Put stricter health regulations on animal husbandry. Big ag animal farms are some of the least sanitary work environments in the US, I’d rather shovel coal.
Edit: Bonus, consider loosening drone regulations for rural areas. They are valuable surveying tools, and line of sight requirements is unnecessary in many agri situations
Basically if you live on the farm you don't pay. If you own a property remotely or its above a certain scale you pay x% a year asset tax.
I think this could solve a bunch of foot in the door issues around farming.
To add to this they need to break up the meat processing side. In US there is something like 4 meat processors holding most of the market. It's far too dominant for one country. There need to be I dusty breakup and easy of regulation for local small scale butchers.
