So true, and it has been happening for a long time now.

Sadly it is not just small farmers, every aspect of our lives is being churned over by predatory capitalism.

Family doctors (primary care) almost do not exist - they can't compete.

Mom and Pop retail businesses are almost all gone - they can not compete.

Small local farmers - they can't compete.

The list extends into every aspect of our lives. If you are not familiar with the term, you should google it - Predatory capitalism.
