I really doubt this will become much of a trend unless people are forced to. If you can't make it on 80 acres with a tractor, you need to either reconsider your crop or your occupation.

As for "Farmers across America...", I'm in North Dakota, and I don't exactly see a stampede to farm 10-15 sections (square miles ~640 acres each) of wheat with oxen.

More overblown dirtworship dreams. This is not a viable alternative to mechanized farming if we are to feed our own, much less a significant portion of the world.

Corporate farms will always be mechanized. I don't think this is the topic here.

Like the hippie farm communes of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Fun for a few weeks then they realize it it REALLY IS WORK! then back to the city.
