Given the way our bee colonies in the UK are just exploding this year because we had a great start with no colonies destroyed by Monsanto and their ruddy neonicotinoid pest-killers after they were banned last year, paired with an early spring, I'd not too happily support big farming. We should feed ourselves, sure, but should we allow the country to become one big field, with no space for anything else? No, it's insane, we need insects to pollinate and they need places to breed and overwinter. You suck the land dry and you have a dustbowl. It's the worst of short-termism, and it's probably why there's precious little in the folk repertoire on the subject, few sympathise with it.
No, I'm not preaching some kind of bucolic idealism, but of finding a middle way.
