Many years ago we grew tomatoes and we got out of it because there wasn't enough money in it. Probably because CA was subsidizing its tomato growers by giving them cheap water (we had to pay for ours as we didn't have a well on the farm).

>> More likely because farming has gone corp.

And why in the world would you think that has anything at all to do with it?

Because corps can grow in quantities a local grower can't; plus they grow the kind of tomatoes that can be shipped long distances........very thick skin with only a small amt of seeds. Its why so many people hate tomatoes because they are getting the shit that corps grow.........and its how corps make money on tomatoes.

I've done accounting & tax work for probably 100 different farming operations, corporations, partnerships, and proprietorships and every last one of them had the same objective -- to make as much money as they could.

Wow. What a shocker.

And none of them ever cared whether they got money by selling their crops or through government payments.

Of course.
