It's a fast growing problem with a nation wide impact. Farms are dwindling, with the latest agriculture census showing small farms and Black farmers suffering the most.

Experts contribute this to economics, among other things.

"Urban and suburban development also solar farms are also a part of that conversation of where our farms are being transitioned into," said Ohio state extension, Trumbull county agriculture-educator, Lee Beers. "Large farms and even small farms have a hard time transitioning from one generation to the next just to the economics, whether a family farm member doesn't want to come back and when that happens that farm is sold," he said.

Beers continues, the cost of land is up dramatically.

At the same time, industrial factory farms continue to expand into rural America which Beers says is directly responsible for the decline in the smaller, local farms.

"It's becoming a lot more complicated and more time consuming to form," said Beers. "So when those farms sell out the bigger farms that are already selling out have the ability and the capability to come and purchase that," he said.
