I agree with you,the organic folks already have the Mega organic operations named,Industrial Organic.The hard core organic folks don't like them.The really successful organic operations I know of are direct selling to consumers or are forming small coops to process their dairy products.They are doing what dairies did when I was a kid develop local customers for their brand.But all farming these days is suffering from a huge surplus of commodities which is directly opposite of what the standard 'We're all going to starve....' stuff.In my opinion farming is mostly going to divide into two basic groups the huge operations with thousands of acres and thousands of whatever animals like chickens and hogs now and the small direct to consumers operations which in my area has a huge customer base at their door step but not in really rural areas where customers are few and far between.Small operators with cattle like myself are already getting less because of the lack of buyers at local markets and I can't see it ever getting any better only worse.But here is the 800 lb Gorilla in the room no one seems to be figuring in these days is that the Federal Gov't for all intents and purposes is flat broke and many things they throw money at these day is going to run out.What you think will get cut first Social Security that involves millions and millions of voters or Federal crop insurance that will involve only a few thousand voters? No gov't money going to farming would really change things how it would all pan out is anyone's guess.In farming just like everything else there are no guarantees.
