To choke is to strangle but to "choke out" is to replace, displace, supplant, exclude, or suppress. The term is applied to plants, animals, or institutions that lose their habitat or viability due to another competing force. Plants can become extinct if other plants take their habitat. Similarly, small dairy farms were "choked out" or replaced by the more economical larger farms.
