Study shows ag market concentration increasing

This is a good trick, as the market is already so highly concentrated as to defy belief. What the article completely misses, however, is the reason that this concentration has happened: government intervention. Instead, the NFU is calling for more "public policy intervention", which will assuredly only make the problem worse.

And so it goes.

Agricultural market concentration is rising steadily, according to a study released today by National Farmers Union.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
