A mile down the road a large 100+ year old family farm was converted over to LLC before the 85 year old man died. I think it had something to do with keeping the farm in the family. It may have had something to do with taxes too. The farm is still run by the same family. I think the current farmer is the 4th generation farmer and a Purdue grad.
When I drive by, I see a lot of new Green, John Deere Green. I also see a lot of dollars in all his equipment, which are green too.
His farms have irrigation too. Recently converted from diesel to electric pumps.
Only get to see his big equipment when they are being used. When he is done, they are parked inside pole barns.
So, I would say large corp farming may be what's keeping this successful family farm going. Future is safe here.
