  Federal, state and local land regulations often discourage
 the conversion of currently-farmed land for other purposes, like
indstrial or high-density residential use.  The number of people engaged in
full-time farming has continued to decline, and virtually nobody not
already
 engaged in farming or from a farming family enters farming.  There's thus
little additional demand for farming land,

But don't the billions of dollars of farm subsidies benefit some farmers,
making their land more valuable?
When farmers are grandfathered into price supports, does this run with the
land or with the farmer?

I'm also reminded that, like one friend of mine,
people who work in small towns often buy an old farm
house and live in it, while contracting out to some
neighbor or farming friend to do a little bit of
farming on the land the buyer doesn't use for
residential purposes.

Is that what they call gentleman farming?
