Answer 1

Hi there!

The reason why large farms are increasing across the US is that fewer people are engaged in the farming profession. This is because more people are finding jobs in the tech industry and also there is a lot more automation that is starting to replace those kinds of job in general.

Answer 2

A. land prices are increasing

Farming needs lands, and though there may be less farmers, as long as the farmers have land for farming, and as the weather is suitable for farming, there should still be the same amount of output, if not more. However, less land means less output.

hope this helps
