Essay Option # 1 Since the end of WW2, the policies of farm and agriculture have changed dramatically. Essentially the changes that have occurred allowed bigger farming corporations to gain in power over the local farm owners and adding to their struggles. The corporations have consolidated in the food industry, which allows them to glorify and idealize junk food to the public. The money it the corporations have garnered allowed them to possess significant lobbying power to alter the market as they seem to fit. Many policies on farm and agriculture has impacted the way food is grown in America. For example hedge funds, described in page 11 of Foodopoly have essentially set the prices of land in America and worldwide, usually to high prices. This has resulted in farmers having to either cut down costs , to make do with lesser land, or to be forced out of business. Along with pollution to environment, this policy along with many others results in the situation described in page 12, with lesser farmers working to supply the nation (from about 6.8 million to under 1 million). Most often, farmers sell their products at low prices, and are expected to pay off land that is priced higher than it is affordable. As a result, “Large-scale industrial operations comprising only 12 percent of U.S farms make up 88 percent of the value of farm production”(Wenonah Hauter 13). These corporations become the suppliers to the nation, which has led to repercussions of their own; junk food is prime example of the repercussions. Many corporations produce the majority of the food because they consolidate with other corporations. A company that produces the necessary ingredient for the other may be consolidated to reduce costs. Junk food is cost-efficie... ... middle of paper ... ... rank animals such as poultry, and pay accordingly. Producing a high ranking animal as page 195 mentions can be costly, as the farmer may have to pay a grower thousands for a desirable animal. Small family farmers cannot afford to shell out the money necessary to produce high rated animals, and as such they lose out on business. Besides that, meatpackers supply the farmers with feed that is often unregulated, and expect the farmers to provide a specified number of animals to be processed. The hog industry has its issues that affect the environment or the consumer. The hog industry along with many others is reflective of the change in the meatpacking industry. Workers and small family farms share their own set of problems caused by the deregulation of the big agriculture companies such as Tyson, and it is assumed that it will not change if any regulation is imposed.

Behind the simple concept of what a farm looks like, it takes a lot of time and commitment to not only make a farm look like a farm, but to have good crops or food raised on the farm. Farms are broken down into big industry farms or small local farms. In this video, it talked about the benefits of small farms and the cons of large production farms. Many of the small farms, as noted from the video, are more organic, community friendly, less chemical usage, better at managing the ecosystem, and better pricing than the bigger farms. Even with these awesome features of small farms, many still doubt the small farm systems. Small farms are bought out by lager farms to get rid of competition and to expand the large production farms. Big farms such as BigAg think small farms are too little and that they aren’t able to produce much, meaning they have little to show for. Since they are a smaller business, they also don’t have the money to buy equipment or machinery. That’s where the large farms come into play because they do have copious amount of money to purchase machinery and equipment to process the foods. Many of the large ag businesses have been known to use worse conditions than smaller farms, and when that occurs, there is more food issues, consumer outrage and also dramatic climate change issues that can erupt.
