A corporate farm is one that treats their farm operation like a business. And a corporate farm is one that is incorporated.
Family Farms from the media and left wing group means that anyone who wants to farm and has no talent to raising and marketing crops should have the right to a decent living and that they should get a higher price than the market for their products even though that exact same product can be bought elsewhere and imported for cheaper.
