Economies of scale have made it necessary to farm larger plots of land in order to break even, let alone make a profit. The population of the country had greatly expanded, making marginal farmland quite valuable, thereby making it far more difficult for a small homestead type farmer to afford to keep it.

Small farms are often subjected to complaints from urban neighbors and harrassed out of existance.
