Hi Steve,

The study you are referring to is the following, I believe:

Goldschmidt, Walter Rochs.
As you Sow
NY, Harcourt, Brace, 1947

Goldschmidt, Walter Rochs
As you sow: three studies in the social consequences
of agribusiness.
Montclair, NJ, Allanheld, Osmun, 1978

They are fascinating and ought to be more widely read.
Good luck,
Margaret
