Cressman, Richard, the author has observed in working with clientele of over 150 farm accounts that there are only fifteen who are not at least third generation farmers. They may not be located on the original family farm, but nonetheless they're still farming. This is not statistically significant data but it does show the trend in agriculture has been to passing on the farm.
