RESUMO

The present work intends to analyze, in an ampler perspective, the main characteristics of the new time of the Cerrado. These are closely related to the propagation of fronts agricultural, that is, of modern agriculture, from the decade of 1970s. This agriculture, carried through in intensive way and on a large scale, introduced in the brazilian Cerrado a new time, when implanting extremely functional technical systems to the modern agricultural production, allowing to the great companies a bigger domain of the production. Among the controlled technical systems by the companies, the storage system detaches, when configuring itself as one of the main logistic links of the diverse space circuits productive agricultural. The silos allow to canry on the circulation of the grains in the time and the space, it has been essential since the production (strictu sensu), until the final periods of training of exportation and consumption. In the agricultural fronts, the control of the storage system becomes still more strategical, for dealing with the main producing region of grains of the country, for the great distance recated to the exporter ports and consumer regions and for the precariousness of the transport systems. This context has become the ownership of the storage system an important element for the control of the production. It is for this reason that in the main productive regions the ownership of the storage systems is still more selective, and controlled for the tradings, becoming the producers and the State servile the politics of the companies. Therefore, this research analyzes in way more strict how the domain of system grains storage confers to the companies a bigger power of regulation of the agricultural production and a privileged use of the territory.
