"As far as I know, as long as government regulation doesn't get involved, there isn't one, and that's why your average farmer, restaurant owner, and super market ownere has a minimal profit margin."

You are forgetting distribution. A few companies like ADM control the distribution. They have a margin higher than the others in the chain. And because they have a much higher volume, they make the bulk of the profits.
