请教一个句子的理解
One only has to scratch the surface of life 【down on the factory farm】 to see that Mad Cow Disease may well be only the tip of the iceberg.In a range of areas,from feeding regimes,to animal housing,to the use of drugs in the pursuit of productivity,human health may be threatened by factory farming.Imposing industrial demands on farm animals may,quite literally,be producing fatal flaws in the end product—our food.
我觉得 down on the factory farm 应该是个介词短语,作 life 的定语,可是查了多个字典都找不到确切的词义.请您指点一下应该怎么理解.

down是副词,在这里当形容词用了.
字典上副词其中一个意思是：
down
adv.
.
4.
a.Away from a place considered central or a center of activity,such as a city or town:down on the farm; sent down to work at the firm's regional office.
b.Away from the present place.
就是远离城市、远离读者,在不为人知的地方,和前面的scratch the surface、后面的tip of the iceberg相呼应.down on the farm是个固定用法,life down on the factory farm也是个固定用法.
这句可以翻译为：
人们只要揭开工厂化农场上生活的表面,就能看到疯牛病很可能只是冰山的一角.
