The Business of Agriculture PodcastConsolidation’s Limitations — Perspectives from a CEO on Consolidation in AgricultureAgriculture has been consolidating for almost a century. There were 6.8 million American farms in 1935, today, less than 2 million.

From farm machinery, to genetics, chemistry, and retail, there are fewer players today than in past decades. As we head into a declining Ag income cycle, consolidations will increase, based on historical precedent. But what are the limitations of consolidation? Landus CEO Matt...2024-05-2753 min
