I did look around earlier and saw that the top 4 companies controlled more than 50% of the market...add in the other six, and that is only going to increase.

I agree, which is why we should have a problem with articles that pretend the rest of farmers are the same as them. It just helps them because nobody is left to side with small farms.
I mean, how about this. Did you know that many of the meat and dairy subsidies that people get up-in-arms about are paid as meat- or dairy-specific taxes by farmers, and only the bigger farms reap the benefit?
Those big farms profit from the fact that they and vegans have a common enemy... small meat/dairy farms.
How do you think that translates to Meat and Dairy market? I'd imagine adding more market, that 50% is going to shrink. Definitely makes that 100% in the title seem a lot click baitier
