Fewer farms are needed in the US today than in 1900 due to advancements in agricultural technology, which have significantly increased productivity and efficiency. Mechanization, improved crop varieties, and better farming practices allow fewer farms to produce more food. Additionally, urbanization and changes in land use have led to a concentration of agricultural operations, reducing the overall number of farms. As a result, larger, more industrialized farms have replaced many smaller operations.
