Pastor Chad from JesusFreak.com asked:
I’m working on a newspaper story about organic gardening and I’m trying to get an overview of the history of corporate farming in the U.S. and some of the big-name corporations normally associated with corporate farming, since it seems that the increasing emphasis on organic gardening and farming is, to a large degree, a reaction against corporate farming. Any resources anyone could point me to would be greatly appreciated.
Yep, I remember Farm Aid, MIE. I was 14 when that happened.

Organic is getting popular since many do not want pesticides.
Unfortunately right now I have writer’s block.
All I can write is that Corporate Farms destroyed many US family and small farms.
Corporate Farms pay their employees only slight higher than non-Corporate Farms. They hire migrant and if possible undocumented workers for low wages. Also they outsource to foreign countries for lower payrolls.
Some of the are customers at Sam’s Club 6625 in San Fernando California and one owns an onion farm that pay cheap wages and his name will not be mentioned except he is of Japanese ancestry in Ventura County.
Do you remember Farm Aid is the USA in the 1980s?
