My educated guess is that phase II only brought its worst aspects to the immediate surface. and that the forces of increasing economic power centralized in a few hands not responsible to the public continue in the food industry. thrive in it. and eventually will conquer it. We must move to decentralize the market place. The best way to do that is to insure that millions of hardworking families have access to -adequate credit and the ability to make a decent living on a farm. The real question we face. then. is whether we want to maintain a viable agricultural system in America. If we do not. then we had better be prepared to accept the empty countryside. the neverending flow of rural refugees into the cities. and the specter of a nations food supply controlled by a handful of oligopolies.
