It simply means that we have got to stop subsidizing the unnatural bigness in agriculture which so many now deem inevitable. Bigness is only inevitable. If we continue subsidizing it. We subsidize the corporation of American agriculture by Federal tax laws that encourage tax loss and hobby farms and land speculators. We subsidize bigness in agriculture through our labor and immigration laws which provide giant corporations with a constant source of cheap labor. We subsidize bigness in agriculture through a multibillion dollar farm payment program. almost half of which goes to giant agribusinesses. We subsidize bigness in agriculture through a public research labthe landgrant college systemwhich too often primarily serves agribusiness.
