It sounds like they are protesting out of frustration because they don't want to change or don't know how to change. That is ironic because farming is an industry that is has long been based on constant change, innovation, advanced technology, increasing automation and continual consolidation. Today one person can farm as much land as five did a generation ago. Now-a-days there are more seventy year old farmers in the USA than there are twenty year old farmers.
The protesters run a huge risk of convincing the public that small farmers are against climate control and are incapable of implementing any climate control, therefore small farm are bad for the planet and are against other people's health and happiness. If they are not careful about their message, they could windup protesting themselves out of business.
If that also happens in the US it could be very bad for continuing the many regulation exemptions that US farmers now enjoy. Most farm production is commodities. Large farm can produce commodities as easily and efficiently as small farms. Like it or not, it is is much easier to work with 100s of large farms that are willing to work to the same rules and regulations that apply to every other business in the country than it is to work with 100,000s of small farmers that feel they are entitled enough to refuse to accept regulation and change.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
