"As the little guys that don't know how to farm go broke, the next operator takes over the farm and the yields instantly improves 50 bu an acre. see it over and over again."

So the "big guys" never "don't know how to farm" and don't "go broke" ?? 

Yes at times there is an economy of scale, where the big guys can afford zillion dollar tractor's/combines/ etc.. but equating "small guys" as don't know how to farm....  ???  On the other hand,, BTO's can bid rented ground to the point they're losing Big bucks but their BTO's so they can afford to...

You're not going to have many friends there,, BTO. 

Ever stop to think maybe, just maybe,, some "small guys" don't want/need/desire to become BTO's ??    They are and have been sucessful in what they do and the way in which they do it.
