Unfortunately for you, I have personal experience with a family who has 40 years of consumer veg growing and experienced a problem with their CSA drop-outs over the last few years. Getting enough people to fill out their survey/questionnaire took a while to get to what the issues were.
1. too much product causing too much waste.
2. Not customized to need.
3. lifestyle changes resulting in less time/need
4. began growing their own
So in conclusion, and based on your ever flexible reasons for why its the tax plans fault, I have no alternative but to dismiss this latest round of unsubstantiated baloney as based solely on a political position, rather than a detailed analysis of your own business model.
