At present the control of the other facets of food production are in few hands. The only thing keeping them honest is the individaul farmers who manage their own farms as they see fit.

Once the lands are owned by the corporations too, they can run hog-wild and in so doing, my contention is that the ensuing mismanagemnt will lead to shortages.

The idea was that lands need to be nationalized to protect those lands from corporate management. I contend they alredy are to a large degree and at this point our support of the base operators of food production is the only thing we can do to save our food supply.

If, as you read the numbers, farmers do have a level of control above and beyond most Americans, then that is good news.
