And I understand your argument. It is appealing. But I don't see why we should try to prevent the concentration of farm power into a few hands when that concentration is going on in the corporate world every day. Should we have bailed out Arthur Anderson because now we have fewer big-time accounting firms controlling the market? Why shouldn't farming be subject to the same market conditions and subject to the same tireless path of market concentration and domination by a few giants?
Unfortunately, one prediction by Marx, that industry would continue to merge and concentrate until only a few corporations dominate any one sector, seems to be coming true. To me, it's a sign of lack of creativity and drive. It's much easy to buy a business than to build one.

It's much easy to buy a business than to build one. Yes it is. If we had less regulatory and tax load on start-up businesses there would be more happening, our overall economy would grow stronger and more rapidly.
