| Its an article put together with information given to someone who really has no clue. It makes it sound like its easier for large operations to make money. This is not necessarily true.
The market can, does, and will bury a big operation just as soon as a small one. I'm sure General Motors gets one heck of better deal on 4 brand new Firestones than what I do. Didn't keep them from needing the government to bail them out.
IF big Ag is going to take over this countries production in the next 20,30,40 years, IMO it will be in the form of total vertical integration spawned from merger and/or consolidation. Monsanto buys a controlling interest in Tyson and begins to also dabble in the ethanol business. Then they begin to purchase massive amounts of connected farmland in strategic areas of the country. Areas that make logistic sense to the task at hand. Throw some retail stores up branded in some spinoff tax saving name, or sell direct to consumer online.
Low commodity prices? Who cares what the CME says a bushel of corn is worth? They know what they got in it and that's all that really matters.
Efficiency doesn't automatically come with size, as I feel this article portrays. | |
