Why are farmers economically bouond to the large meat companies?

Farmers are economically bound to large meat companies due to several factors, including reliance on these companies for access to markets, resources, and technology. Large meat companies often provide essential services such as feed, veterinary care, and processing facilities, creating a dependency. Additionally, the consolidation of the meat industry limits competition, forcing farmers to align with these companies to ensure stable income and reduce financial risks. This dynamic can result in farmers facing pressure to comply with the practices and pricing structures set by larger corporations.
