Automation has brought about an increase in production and higher profits. He often lives away from the farm, in order not to be constantly reminded by the smell and ugliness of the stables and the way he earns his money. Laborers are scarce in demand and the banks and fodder industry cooperate in financing and building big stables. This way it is much easier and cheaper to supply fodder and collect products and animals. The only thing for the farmer to organize is a location to dump the manure, which is injected into the ground as soon as possible.
Nobody is confronted with the abuse that takes place in factory farming.
Because of the hidden production behind closed stable doors the public is unaware of what is going on and is unlikely to protest. In contrast to the modern way of farming and reminiscent of the old way there are often little goats and swag-belly pigs in the front yard of the factory farms. The negative side is that the gained energy is not put into positive goals, but directed to gaining more money. A small group of entrepreneurs profit directly. The public profits indirectly because of the low prices for meat.
