Corporate farms often encouraged farmers to quit farming by offering higher wages and more stable employment opportunities in urban areas. The consolidation of farmland and the increasing mechanization of agriculture reduced the need for labor, making it difficult for small farmers to compete. Additionally, aggressive marketing and financial pressure, such as debt accumulation from purchasing modern equipment, pushed many farmers to abandon their land for the perceived security of city jobs. This shift contributed to rural depopulation and a decline in traditional farming practices.
