Other than smaller farms suffering, what would be the dangers of farm consolidation?
I was looking for a section in the article that talks about it, but couldn't really find any.
In the last US census less than 1% reported were farmers. Huge change in demographics in 100 years. A lot of that has been made possible by large agribusinesses. The small guys day's have over for a while.
For some reason we need small (relatively inefficient) family farms as opposed to large corporate farms. Not too sure why other than purely political reasons, farm states vote first in the primarys for this specific reason.
