The guys that want to chase ever more acres at a low margin so they have a chance at hitting it big when the markets align are the guys that drive up land prices/rents. Land cost is the #1 factor in COP leading to low margins. Their drive to stay viable in a shrinking margin game is self fulfilling, they're the ones shrinking the margins.
Guys that are happy with the acres they have, are never the guys driving rents higher/margins lower.
Also, when they're the ones crying for a govt handout because of low margins, I'm not sure they're actually "good at what they do" either, unless "what they do" is farming the tax payers.
