The laws of supply and demand cannot work in this distorted system. The Iowa Farm Bureau, the Iowa Pork Producers and others want to overturn this property rights victory for farm and rural people so mega-operations can masquerade as farms. The corporate mentality is to drive out competition. It has little to do with cost of production and everything to do with intimidation and market power. I scarcely ever knew a mammoth farm to sustain itself, much less return profit . . .
Mammoth farms are like tools or weapons which are too heavy to be handled.
Ere long they're thrown aside at great loss. Yes, great loss. The future of America's rural communities and the structure of agriculture hinges on the answer. Online SF Online Copyright Meredith Corporation 1998. All rights reserved.
