The protests are coming from individual farmers, the article is a feel good story about large(r) companies profiting from those farmers.

  Those same large agri companies are working behind the scenes to stir up the farmer protests, hiding behind likable small family farmers. See some recent TV commercials to positively frame farmers' image. But many of those farmers are not a small family business anymore, they are very profitable businesses and the owners want to continue making those profits, increasing emissions which are already too high for our very small country.

    “But many of those farmers are not a small family business anymore, they are very profitable businesses…” My wife is a small business owner and it is rough as hell. Directing shit at the farmers who actually managed to be successful and grow their operations seems really stupid.

      Not all small business are farms and not all farms are small businesses
