A new Agricultural Department study by Marshall Harris finds substantial elements of entrepreneurial control in farming moving from farms to off farm firms and government agencies. It notes acceleration due to tech changes, processing, marketing, and a push toward environmental and recreation goals, with 21,500 farming corporations cited in 1969. The report contrasts official assertions with critiques from the Agribusiness Accountability Project and FTC data on non-food corporate influence and contracts that favor firms, while also highlighting eminent domain and credit disparities.
