The Rural Voice, 2000-03, Page 7Feedback nosedive in supermarkets when the bottom fell out for farmers? In a pig's eye. The trend to vertical integration of agricultural corporations will continue, as the family farm declines. Once the family farm is gone, a foregone conclusion with present agricultural policies in Canada, the consumer will see the same effect on prices in supermarkets as at the gas pumps. Right now, if you don't want to pay the price at the gas pump, you can walk or buy a horse. Once the corporate world controls agriculture, and you don't want to pay their prices, tough luck.
