The percentage of the population that used to be somehow involved with agriculture has steadily declined every decade since the 1940's. Back then the majority of the population was farmers and now just a very small percentage is. As the older generation dies off there are simply fewer interested people to replace them as it has never been a part of their lives.
I too believe the small shows will eventually go away and only the bigger shows will remain but even the ones that survive will not be as prosperous as before. High costs to transport will only increase as shows get further way from individuals.
I certainly hope I am wrong on this one....but only time will tell....
