Guess time:

I'll bet many, if not all, of these farmers are locked into commodity production and do not sell their product(s) directly to consumers.  I'll further bet these farmers haven't heard of producer/consumer co-ops either.

Until farmers capture the consumer dollar they will remain ill-payed for their work while watching the middlemen and grocery/food stores reap the majority of the profits.
