Yes, if you compare farmers with actors, they seem to have similar problems with stability of employment, low pay, and hard working conditions. In both cases these are partly caused by unavoidable factors about the industry, partly caused by ruthless suppliers, customers, investors and so on, partly caused (let's be honest) by the fact that many people make a lifestyle choice to do those professions, and will put up with poor conditions to keep on doing so.

However, we constantly hear about the rough deal farmers are getting and how important it is to do something to help them. And we never hear this about actors.

Well, you don't need steak either, but both things are considered extremely important to human life and our society.
