The Last Independent Farmers: How Hedge Funds Quietly Took Our Food Supply

This video breaks down the quiet takeover of our food system — not by farmers, not by innovators, but by hedge funds and corporate land-hoarders who have never worked a day in the soil. It traces how independent farmers were slowly pushed off their land through impossible input costs, rigged markets, predatory land speculation, and rent extraction disguised as “modern agriculture.”

Using one family’s story as the starting point, the video shows how the same pattern has repeated across the country for generations, culminating in a future where a handful of private interests own the farms, the food, the chemicals, the distribution, and even the “solutions” to the health problems their products create.

This is not a nostalgia piece — it’s a forensic breakdown of the economic river that funnels wealth away from the people who create it and into the pockets of land monopolists. And it explains why farmers are collapsing under a system designed to extract value from the land itself, not from anything farmers actually produce.

Most importantly, it lays out the real choke point: land ownership — the dam where all value is captured. And it shows how a Georgist shift can break the cycle, free farmers from debt-serfdom, return land value to the people who generated it, and rebuild a food system that serves communities instead of corporations.

If you care about food, fairness, or the future of rural America, this one’s going to hit you right in the teeth.
