This kind of reasoning might be part of a "pastoral homesteading" ideology, but it is also sound business practice. When your input or cost is zero, your margin of return is 100%. Plus if you consume the 'result' , yourself, you pay no added-value expenses in the business chain and you pay no taxes for your governmental morons to waste.
Agri-bus9ness is suited well for its purpose - to sate the masses. Hungry people become unruly and then dangerous. We are not a nation of skinny, angry people -- not yet. But agri-business would collapse without governmental propping. It is "planned" and "centralized"-- always bad, in the long run...............
