Farming; the cut throat idea of how the Big Fish swallow the little fish America’s economy is greatly influenced by the hard work of farmers. In the time that the song “Rain on the Scarecrow” by John Cougar Melloncamp was released the struggle of how farmers lived was shown. Farmers have always had a hard life, they are always fighting to get ahead of one another and produce more to make money. With the introduction of larger farms, that mass produce products, hard working farmers with small farms were not able to provide and take care of their families. These farmers were now forced to sell off their families’ farms and throw away a way of life their families had known for generations. And now good hard working Americans with quality morals and values were going against what they believed in to make a living. This is where America’s heartland is and it was now being taken over by big businesses seeking only profit. Large modern farms have doomed many of these family farms and with them the moral fiber that has built our nation. It is hard for any small business to succeed with a new bigger, more efficient, company competing against you. “Three quarters of all U.S. farms have an annual income of less that $50,000… …Large farms sell over 65 percent of the Nation’s livestock and over 66 percent of the crops”*, shows how the larger farms dominate the industry.
