I think it's just semantics myself, my additional quote.

Well I doubt that Government regulation is what brought about the decline of the family farm.

Just trying to be politically correct, what I really meant was:
No way in hell did Government regulation bring down the family farm. 
Family farm, as I was/am using the term to mean an individual family living mostly off their own land, providing for themselves, not a commercial enterprise. Like it was WAY back in the day. I think it was largely the industrial revolution that put an end to that lifestyle. I don't see that lifestyle making a comeback on anywhere near the scale it once was.
As to Big Ag, "family farms" as we know them today and Government regulation, I will leave that to those certainly more qualified to speak on the subject than I. I just milked three cows growing up, what the hell do I know about farming.
