It has been LARGELY Big Pharmaceuticals who have been buying up the arable land. And they buy the small farmers' subsidies right along with the land. The subsidies that were going to the small farmers who couldn't afford to farm go to whichever Player bought the land to which the subsidy applies.
'Course, you'd have to talk to farmers to know this. Or work in Big Drugs. Or Big Government...different divisions of the same Complex.
The good news is, once Big Money owns all the arable land, they'll no doubt legalize marijuana. Hmmm, maybe I should stay.
Hey, I just thought of something.
John Edwards was unambiguous in declaring that he would ORDER the end of DEA raids on medical marijuana pharmacies. This practice is NOTHING short of grand theft, each instance.
Now that John Edwards has thrown his support to Barack Obama, may we anticipate that Barack Obama will have the balls to take the same stand?

doubtful that Clinton or Obama will say ANYTHING controversial.
Clinton has been outspoken on National Security, and her doctrine of immediate retaliation has been backed by Biden, as rational.
Obama is still kinna nebulous for me on these issues.
I ned to see more of what he will say about hard choices that will face us.
LOL Jimmy Carter promised to decriminalize Maryjane..
I'm still waiting to light that splif up
