James, Those small family farms are one of the reasons the government of Japan bans the import of American rice, and beef. It would, probably, be more economical for them to import those two products than have them grown in Japan the way they go about it. ~;=;o --haqi

<<I've been to Japan a number of times, the first time being in 1969. One of the amazing things there that you would never see in this country are those tiny little farms- -a few acres- -being operated by a single family with little or no machinery.>> You are starting to see that here. Small truck farms that double and triple crop. Usually organic and selling to a select market, sometimes value added.
