Vertaling van "operators as well as large had to buy channels they " (Engels → Frans) :

I know in the past, small operators as well as large had to buy channels they really didn't want, that they knew they weren't going to be able to sell to their consumers.
Je sais que dans le passé, les petites et les grandes entreprises devaient acheter des groupes de chaînes qui ne les intéressaient pas nécessairement parce qu'elles savaient qu'elles auraient du mal à les revendre à leurs consommateurs.

Yes, there was a Crow buy-out, as I call it, and many producers have made capital investments on diversifying and changing their farming operations as well, but they have not yet had the opportunity to reap any of the benefits of the investment they made from the Crow buy-out or the capital they've put into their production units as well.
Oui, il y a eu un rachat du programme du Nid-de-corbeau, comme je l'appelle, et de nombreux producteurs ont fait des investissements en capital pour diversifier ou changer leurs activités agricoles, mais ils n'ont pas encore eu l'occasion de récolter les fruits de l'investissement qu'ils ont fait grâce au rachat ou du capital qu'ils ont investi dans leurs unités de production.
