The problem I see is that so many farmers have gotten huge - it's nearly impossible for a small farmer to survive. Someone wanting to start farming, without having it been in the family for a generation (or more) can forget about it. They simply cannot afford the expense of the ground (if they could even find it), let alone the equipment to maintain it. Farmers use to be considered large if they farmed more than a couple hundred acres. Now those guys don't even exist - most are farming in the thousands of acres of land.
