Why would some states with a lot of cropland and or pastureland's not have many organic farms?

Some states with abundant cropland or pastureland may lack many organic farms due to factors such as the high cost of transitioning to organic practices, which can deter conventional farmers. Additionally, a strong market for conventional crops may reduce the incentive to switch to organic farming. Regulatory challenges and a lack of access to organic certification resources can also impede the growth of organic farms in these regions. Furthermore, cultural factors and limited consumer demand for organic products in certain areas may contribute to fewer organic operations.
