Around here it's 4 or 5 BTO, Amish and the few remaining small timers like me. The BTO tend to take out the hedge rows, tile, grade and generally make things workable. They pay big bucks for the privilege. The Amish tend to buy "junk" farms, old worn out, wet and rocky pieces that haven't been worked since the late 60's if not before. They generally improve the lands and in truth the only new barns going up anymore are Amish. Some folks hate 'em, some put them up on a pedestal. They're just people, no more, no less.
The small timers are often part timers and "hobby" farms going bigger. It's not easy competing with the BTO and the city slickers for prices on equipment or feed, much less land. Any decent tractor seems to go for 15-25% higher than they should and the only ones who can swing it are the BTO and city boys buying their 17 acre "estate".
