In this Liberty Nation article, the author examines the steady decline of American farms and cattle herds and warns that the trend could have serious implications for the nation’s food security and rural economy.
- The number of U.S. farms has been shrinking for decades, continuing a long-term consolidation of agriculture into fewer and larger operations.
