"“Seed, chemicals or fertilizer, it’s all in the hands of a few companies that are the only game in town."... "“They all tell me they’re aware of a monopoly problem, and they don’t deny it exists. But they do nothing."

sorry, when I said "thousands of small farms" I meant thousands of small companies producing Seed, Chemicals and Fertilizer.. as well as actually growing plants and animals.

So if that's the actual problem, what's the motivation for preserving small farms? Those small farms are still being supplied by those large suppliers.
