But the majority of people are not farmers, and all big companies will up and leave

I don't think that likely.

Let's break down those big companies you speak of.

Big companies in the red midwest...

Archer Daniels Midland. Cargill. John Deere. Pioneer. Monsanto.

What do they all have in common?

Is that a realistic expectation?

Yes.

In terms kcals/acre/year, if you get Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas alone to stop farming for two years, a billion people die.

What makes you think the opposition cares?

I never said anything to suggest they did.

I'm just observing who has what hard assets of value.
