[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1391357, member: 9096"] But how does that affect the economy overall?.. Doesn't it follow that when farms conglomerate ad infinitum, that 'jobs' are being lost... Now I don't know the specifics of how 'employment' is calculated, but if farm sizes continue to grow, less people will have employment. With the fall in prices below production costs that's driving SMALLER farms out of business, is it really fair to say the small farms are just "weak"? [/QUOTE]
