There are currently 2 million farms spread across the USA and less than 2% of the U.S. population consist of farmers. By 2050, farmers will have to grow 70% more food than what is produced now to feed the worlds growing population, and it will have to be done on millions of less acres. After accounting for input costs, farmers and ranchers receive only 8 cents out of every dollar spent on food by consumers. The landscape in production agriculture is changing swiftly.
