> Taxes rarely prevent some business from existing since almost all taxes are tied to profits, not revenues.

* Does one need capital for growth (more tractors, more people)? How do taxes affect the process of saving the capital, do they increase or decrease the pace?

* Having multiple ways to invest someone's capital, would a person prefer the enterprise with higher net profits?

I’m having doubts a lack of capital is stopping Canada from producing vastly more foodstuffs. For one thing, agriculture is (literally) bread-and-butter business for banks. And there’s been sort of a capital glut. Meaning: a semi-solid business plan will get you all the capital you need, for little more than 0 % interest.

Farming isn’t very profitable. High risk venture. I think it’s almost like running a self storage where you are mostly just using the farming to pay for the land.
