Synopsis

How debt, consolidation, and tax policy are reshaping American farming—and what reforms might restore balance.

This clear-eyed study examines the forces transforming farms, from rising mortgage debt to the growth of large, capital-backed operations. It also explores how policy choices and tax systems affect small farmers, family farms, and rural communities. The discussion grounds its arguments in historical and contemporary context, offering a framework for readers who want to understand the economics behind today’s farm life.

  • See how debt and mortgage pressures influence farm ownership and the fate of small holdings.
  • Learn how trends like land consolidation and “bonanza farming” shape the countryside.
  • Examine tax ideas and reform proposals, including debates around land value taxation and the single tax.
  • Find a thoughtful look at the moral and social stakes of agricultural policy for farmers and society.
Ideal for readers interested in economics, public policy, and the real-world impacts of taxation and debt on farming life. The book invites readers to weigh reform possibilities and consider how policy could support balanced, sustainable farms.
