Well, we've gone from horse drawn plows to massive diesel powered tractors in that time. We can do more in less time.

Economies of scale have made it necessary to farm larger plots of land in order to break even, let alone make a profit.

The population of the country had greatly expanded, making marginal farmland quite valuable, thereby making it far more difficult for a small homestead type farmer to afford to keep it.

As areas have built up, many county governments have swung from rural to urban steered. Small farms are frequently taxed at residential rates. Small farms are often subjected to complaints from urban neighbors and harrassed out of existance.
