Original Note:
The U.S. lost ~150k farms in 6 years, not 500k in one year. Farms grow in size and efficency, continuing a long-term trend of consolidating at the expense of small enterprises. https://ers.usda.gov/data-products/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials/farming-and-farm-income/ The "land bought by other countries" narrative is largely exaggerated, bordering conspiracy. https://www.csis.org/analysis/foreign-purchases-us-agricultural-land-facts-figures-and-assessment-real-threats
