The destruction of farms has nothing to do with soil erosion. It's all about government policy that has destroyed producer prices.
One example is the changes in terms how anti-trust policy has evolved over time. Today, cartels of produce buyers collude to keep prices low. There's also the lobbying and market pressures to transform away to manufactured food processes (fake meat, milk, etc).
The environmental devastation is yet to come, and it will come from the commodity crops that are depleting water tables.
