I don’t disagree that ag consolidation is an ever growing threat to itself. There are a few bright spots that continue to grow though such as regenerative ag organic and direct marketing to customers. Young farmers and small farmers are going to have to think differently to come out ahead and stop relying on big a to.
But everyone wants to drive a big tractor and combine and cover the most acres possible. ( if that’s you you’re part of the problem and likely to get squeezed out over the next 25 years.)
It’s very simple if you know the dealer stacked the cards against you change the game.
Organic has been on a downtrend here lately. Expenses too high, margins too thin, too much competition from cheaper imports.
