> I find your identification of 96-97% of farmers as short-term profiteers rude and borderline offensive.
It could be right. The smaller the farmer the less likely they are to realize how much the investment in better farming is worth it. The very large farmers have the numbers showing the investment is worth it, they control a lot of land, but are only a minority of farmers.
I'm still with you that > 90% is a bad estimate, but it isn't as bad as you make it out.
I provided actual numbers of conservation tillage adoption that are highly correlated. I don't know what else to provide you besides actual data to correct the bias in your understanding.
The 20+ year trend in farm size is unmistakeable across the signficant economic classes, btw. Farms are increasing in size and the number of farms is decreasing.
