Current conditions are sending ripples through the ag economy.
MSN found when harvest is complete this year, nearly 150,000 farms will close. Looking back to the 1950s, more than 60 percent of all U.S. farms have stopped producing, with the number of acres dropping by more than 320 million.
Leaders at American Farmers and Ranchers say everytime the ag economy hits one of these cycles, more family farms begin to disappear.
