    Do you think those big corporate ones will buy out the little guys as they start going under?

      How does that change the material reality of the working poor who can’t afford food?

        Just further concentrates the wealth and throws more people into the “can’t afford food” pool. I’m not disagreeing with you.

          I hope the small farmers at least could sell to neighbors who have managed to save or inherit some savings. As it is, they may be forced to sell to conglomerates. Plus real estate law gets crazy.
