From Farms to Corporations A New Agricultural Era Emerges
The piece argues that farming may consolidate under corporate control due to high capital needs and efficiency demands. It cites a Wall Street Journal report on contract farming in Georgia where Tennessee Egg Co. pays farmers to house care for hens, illustrating industrial production of eggs and poultry. It contrasts this with home life and justice in the Bible, then traces the evolution of legal systems and the role of law in administering justice from Rome to medieval Europe.
