I agree that the headline and conclusion was linkbait, but the main story was great.
I have this sinking feeling that the globalization of food production is a race to the bottom, but it's a race that can only work with the extremely low costs of transportation that we have. But if oil prices rise, and with it transportation costs, we will have huge problems turning back the change from individual local farms to centralized agribusiness.
This article was very refreshing by talking about growing a business to the right size, not to the largest possible size.
