Just to add a point - if the farmers do end up folding and selling off, who's going to buy the land? My money would be on large corpos.

Yes, it would 100% be large corpos that more or less run and own many farms that same way large landlords run 10s or 100s or 1000s of apartments / rental homes.

Sorry, I had thought this was so obvious it didn't need to be directly stated, but yeah, it's not a bad idea to be more explicit and more clear.

Bill Gates owns 270,000 acres of farmland already.
