Many farmers in the Midwest are getting boatloads of money for selling out to real estate developers.

Yeah, they gain the money, but lose the heritage and lifestyle. For some this is not a tradeoff they want

I suspect that many of those farmers didn't sell because they wanted to, they sold because the property tax on the land was so high that they could not afford to farm the ground anymore.
