SC Minnesota | In theory your statement holds water, but it's different in reality. Many of the "bad" farmers don't have to strive for the best roi. There are many farmers that inherit the land from their parents and don't have to be good managers to survive. Just about every program out there incentivizes farmers to maximizes bushels and with no real land costs other than taxes on most of their acres, generating more bushels trumps taking care of the land. It takes generations to get these bad managers out of farming. There is a cry out there right now that farmers are going bankrupt, but in reality there is no up tick in the numbers.
Edit: This might be a more here thing than a everywhere thing. Very little interest in adopting any soil health practices.

Why do we want to help bad farmers?
