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...............
