Not knowing that much either, but I was more under the inpression that farmers working small had a better chance to live decently than the ones working on big contracts. My perspective is how supermaket chains establish almost direct relations with producers and waive their weigh around to get better and better deals as time goes. Basically a variant of cuting the middle layers to eliminate bargaining power.
