[QUOTE="ddg1263, post: 615651, member: 8445"] Well Ray Charles can see that it is going to every middle man in between the farm and the end buyer. When I was in college 20 years ago my econ teacher would teach us that because of economies of scale this country would continue to migrate to larger and larger companies to take advantage of volume discounts and efficiencies. I understood what he was saying, but never dreamed that this country would just have a handful of retailers that would set the stage for market movements. And our government has facilitated and encouraged this consolidation in every market from the banking to retail, all in the name to fight inflation. Has it really succeeded in fighting inflation, or has it just slowly migrated our jobs overseas? Now that question will be answered over the next few years as we try and pull ourselves out of this recession with out base manufacturing jobs to support future tax increases from our bailout nation agenda. But where it is leading our nation’s food supply is concerning. If you force every small farmer out of business, it will have lasting effect on our food production for our country. Maybe I am just to close to the problem to understand the big picture, but it does not take a rocket scientist to understand that businesses will not last operating at a loss over an extended period of time. And if we have a problem with food production after the consolidation as they did with the Banking industry, you can not just print food to feed the population like they are doing with the dollar. People will be upset if they can not get something to eat. Someone in Washington or somewhere needs to wake up and smell the methane that is building from all these external forces we are seeing before someone lights a match! (HEHE) please excuse me I just could not resist! Have a great night. :banana: :banana: :banana: [/QUOTE]
