It is estimated nearly 300 million acres of agricultural land could change hands in the next 20 years. This amounts to one third of the land in farms in the contiguous U.S. This massive transfer of farm real estate from one generation to the next offers one of the greatest threats to farmland—especially if these farms are sold to real estate developers—but it also presents potentially one of the best opportunities for new farmers looking for land.

In one cartoon a chicken tells another, “You’d better get out of the sun. You look done.”
