What is Agribusiness?

Though Iowa and much of America has a long cultural and romanticized memory of farming, the quaint image of the family tending its fields and flocks has for decades been the rare exception rather than the rule. The pressures of mechanization and a seemingly boundless demand for food products led to an increasing focus on food manufacturing rather than growing. While it pushed many families out of business, it helped some companies become very profitable by enabling cheap mass production and ease of distribution. This is just a small component of the world of agribusiness.
