Where do you see the loss of freedom? the loss of the small farmer is a loss of freedom as we become more and more dependent on fewer and fewer companies for our food. 1 - The freedom lost is lost property rights and greater regulation. 2 - What does a greater concentration in agriculture have to do with this? If anything increased regulation will make it more likely to be concentrated. Big companies can higher lawyers to lobby for regulation that benefits them or to get around or comply with regulations a lot easier then small farmers can. Tim
