| When I think of the struggles towns and businesses have had in rural America, I blamed the Koch brothers and the like for many years. Now I believe the large acre farmer has done far more to hurt rural America than any corporate entity ever could. My utopian vision of my Main Street coming back based off small farms and merchants is hopeless I do know. But I believe the problem lies way closer to home and blaming corporations is just not the whole picture. In other words these monopolies and they are that, aren’t the biggest issue in my opinion. I mean is the 20k acre farmer in the county that swallows up everything not somewhat of a monopoly on its own. And many will say it’s just the natural order of ag and if you can’t compete get out. Does the same not apply to fertilizer and other such suppliers.

Is it time to breakup the ag monopolies?
