Follow on the bird #SRUC and #GalbraithGroup Survey about land transactions this year. #Scotland and the #US don't need any more #billgates style agglomeration of farmland. We got supply chain issues already (4 meat packers control over 75% of US meat market - it ain't the farmers getting rich off "pandemic" supply chain kinks). Local sources of supply needs regulatory and legislative change, coming courtesy of #Rep.Spanberger
