The problem is the guy raising cows cannot suddenly shift to growing crops as they might mot have suitable soil for crops to grow in, might not have the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars needed to convert from livestock to crop farming, and likely doesn’t have the knowledge as raising pigs or cows is different from growing corn.
Modern meat production in the industrialized West is unsustainable for the ecology and the subsidies need to be shifted from bring the cost of meat lower to programs assisting ranchers to become farmers.
