Right or wrong, it's like the old Jerry Butler song says: "Only The Strong Survive." The auto industry in the 1950's was a prime example. Ever hear of Hudson, Nash, Kaiser-Frazer, Studebaker, Packard, Willys, or Tucker? It wasn't that any of these folks put out a bad product; they just couldn't make money making the quality product they were known for. Plus, the big guys--Ford, GM, Chrysler--had enough money back then to put the squeeze on the small guys AND their suppliers. When push came to shove, the small guys just didn't have the clout. The guys in charge of Nash saw it coming when they merged with Hudson and set up an alliance with Packard; but for the most part, it was too little, too late for the little guys in the auto industry.
And so it is with small farmers. As much as I hate to bring it up, back in the late 1970's Lyndon LaRouche was telling us what was going to happen, with the agriculture industry being taken over by the big players like Cargill and ADM. LaRouche was portrayed as a crackpot, but in hindsight his predictions were pretty well on-the-money.
