How can you order a farmer to destroy their trees? I hope he fights in a higher court. Wish I'd heard about the nectarine giveaway. I'd have gone to pick some.

I watched a documentary about these agricultural practices.

Taking the deal is not always about being dumb, i don’t know about this specific case but farmers are under immense pressure to accept deals from these corporations who often hold real local power.

You will sell your farm or get bullied into complacency.

    Do you remember the name of the documentary? I'm always on the hunt for good ones I haven't seen.
