It isn't that simple. Uncountable acres of farmland were consolidated in the eighties through deceptive and corrupt banking practices... Basically, the same tactics used to obliterate Somalia a few years later.

Farmers then were tricked or coerced into taking loans out, and using their farms and equipment as collateral, buying and planting seed for crops that were supposedly going to sell very well at harvest. But when harvest time came it didn't sell at all. Loans defaulted, collateral was seized, and farming became industrialized to the detriment of us all.
