To imply that agricultural products are produced in an assembly line manner is terribly misleading. Biological organisms such as animals and produce are not widgets, and are not treated as such. Farmers choose their careers in livestock management because they have a love for animals. Equally, crop producers share the same love for their soil and the crops they produce. Much like the person who takes responsibility in pursuing their career, so does the farmer in raising animals and cultivating the soil.
Farmers pride themselves in producing high quality, healthy food products.
Quality control and standard operating procedures are common practices on every modern farm. Food produced in Canada undergoes extensive testing procedures every step along the way. Farmers are responsible for every agricultural product that leaves their farms. Food processors and grocers all require quality approved standards in order for farmers to sell their products. In my opinion the solution to eliminating factory farming myths is to encourage communication between farmers and non-rural residents.
