In the same way, corporations are now profiting from the small farmer s crisis. They have the power and the capital to make profit. They do not have a connection to the land and do not respect it. They do, however, flourish and push the small farmer, who has neither the money nor the strategy to win, out of business. For all the money investors have, no dollar can replace the heart that goes into running a family farm.
Corporations take the true uniqueness and love out of the work.
They have no heritage linked to the land. Their forefathers did not struggle to build on a dream and pass it down to them. Profit is what drives them. The stark realization of the power of a corporate takeover comes at an auction. I have seen families try to look strong as their goods are put on the block one by one, going to the highest bidder.
