@eldemonio has the right idea
Demonize and restrict cattle to sell more lab made crap. 
There is a uTube video that talks about small farmers having to sell when they die because they don’t have the cash to cover the estate taxes to let their kids inherit the farm. Since I have no interest in US taxes I didn’t watch the video so my above synopsis might not be accurate. It still indicates that Gates can buy these farms on pennies for the dollar and then rent the land out to wannabe or corporate farmers to live off the rent. Shades of feudalism?
