In regards to industrial agriculture I think the problem is completely political. For example, look at the EU. There are several member states that have made real progress in reducing the usage of anti-biotic's in husbandry through legislation. Simultaneously, other states have made huge competitive gains for their own agriculture sector's by doing the complete opposite while stalling any initiative for a pan-EU effort that would encompass the entire free-trade zone. That's without even talking about how lobbying factors into this which I'm sure the US has even worse problems with.

Does this mean that not using penicillin will eventually allow it to be effective again? What sort of time scale would it take?

Not one that actual patients would be comfortable with.
