And the reason is corporate agribusiness wants family farmers off the land so they can keep up their scam and control the food supply and the price of food. After all, they pay the ads in the farming publications and endow departments in the colleges. Money talks. You CAN make a living farming, but their farming advice will ruin you like millions of others. That advice was "get big or get out". It was a threat.

The way to survive is: whatever they say, do the opposite.

Mitch I can answer part of that. Traditional farmers do their best to
send
their children to school to give them a good education. In school farming
is looked down on and in college they are told that they can't make a
living
at it. I know that from personal experience.

But why do "traditional" farmers feel that they can no longer continue
with that tradition? What I read most often is that they move to the
cities
"to escape the grinding poverty of subsistence farming".
