I do. The processing plant will be a separate business entity, probably an LLC partnership with each partner getting a cut of the processing plant profit depending how much each invested. They will still buy the cattle, even if it is from themselves. So will they pay more per pound and get more revue as the rancher or will they collect the profit as the processing plant? My guess is they will keep the same price the big corporations pay so if a rancher that did not invest in the plant wanted to sell to their processing plant they would want to maximize the processing plants profits…

Resource pooling.

When is enough enough?

Foreign-owned farmland in the West increased from around 1.25 million acres in 2010 to nearly three million acres in 2020, according to data from the US Department of Agriculture

We are literally exporting our economy overseas,” Campbell said. “I’m sorry, but there’s no Saudi Arabian milk coming back to Southern California or Arizona. The value of that agricultural output is not coming through in value to the US.”

At some point, each of those 3 million acres were sold to foreigners by Americans acting in their best interests.

“Enough” will only happen when collective good gains ground on the individual’s. So, not for a long time. The farming situation will have to get at least as bad as the housing situation, which hasn’t reached “enough” either.

You posted this a while ago, and not a single finger has twitched to do anything about it.

Taxes on foreign owned land should be increased a thousand fold and receipt of payment to the local governments enforced with immediate forfeiture for defaults.
Land owned adjacent to US Military bases by foreign countries ESPECIALLY the ChiComs should be rescinded forthwith.
