In the 1950s, then-president Dwight D Eisenhower's secretary of agriculture urged farmers to "get big or get out", and succeeded in passing a bill that watered down laws protecting small family-run farms.
Reagan continued to water down this legislation.
Frerick says this meant his home state of Iowa, which had some of the best soil in North America, was transformed into an industrial wasteland.
