Small farms like this one are good for society, as contributors to the community and as producers of sustenance. They are better for the environment, often using less energy from outside sources, employing sustainable agricultural methods like crop rotation, rotational grazing, minimal pesticide application, and providing humane conditions for healthy animals (Andrée 16) (Haspel). They are more likely to act as carbon sinks than as net emitters when compared to their larger counterparts (Andrée 16). Their food is usually fresher and healthier, and they usually grow diverse crops of fruits and vegetables instead of monocrops of corn and soy (Haspel). Additionally, as Tamar Haspel wrote for the Washington Post, “theres value in having a place where people can take kids to pull a carrot out of the ground or come face to face with a pig,” and virtually everyone agrees with this.

These correlations between good farming practices and farm size arent just correlations; there is real cause and effect going on. On small farms, both consumers and farm owners have a more direct connection to the land, and their decisions will thus more closely reflect the best interests of the land and the earth instead of their financial situation. While large farms act as maximum efficiency crop producing engines, small farms are more often managed in ways that are best for the long term.
As Haspel also writes, it is an accepted fact that small farms are struggling to survive. Because of the economy of scale, large farms are inherently more efficient, and when this plays out in the market, small farms share of food production falls: from 1991 to 2017, it was cut almost in half (Semuels). Farm debt is at an all-time high, and the majority of small farms dont sell even $10,000 worth of food annually (Semuels) (Haspel). Over half the worlds hungry are small-scale agriculturalists, and if they cant make enough to get by, many say, it seems highly dubious that small farms could come close to feeding the world (Andrée 16).

[This MA government website][massgis] has a wealth of (slightly outdated) information about every property parcel in the state. If you want to look at a map of who owns what, that's where you should go. Somehow I feel like not enough people use it, instead letting themselves be content with wondering about mysterious property boundaries.

He had become a vegetarian. He did not eat milk, meat, or eggs. His diet was the same as a rabbit's, and his anxious face gradually came to resemble the face of that animal."
