[QUOTE="totoro, post: 80003, member: 3155"] Plus with free range they have to give X amount of green area to range/feed on... graze eat bugs etc. so the farmer has the up-keep for the land, has to keep the land "green" usually they have to have another crop going to keep land going, like a grass or a grain... They have to keep it pesticide and hormone free... so if anything gets into the land they have to figure out a green way to get rid of it, like if they get a noxious weed, get goats or a natural pesticide that is approved... Plus cost of land versus the cost of a cage and feed for the animals... It is much cheaper to shove an animal in as small a cage as possible feed them the cheapest food as possible and try to make a living... It is a hard call on both sides... we try to buy local and Growth Hormone free as well as organic... but it adds up. [/QUOTE]
