1/2 the farmland in my area is no longer farmed.

We do not have a shortage of farmland.

Yes, china is buying a lot of land but it is what 1-2% of our total farmland or something like that.

If we suddenly started growing crops on all our farmland it would put farmers out of business because the price per bushel would drop to zero.

With new seeds and grains we no longer need as much land in the past.

Every year the bushel per acre yield increases
