FARMBIG

Jacob Rickli heads back to work after a dinner break during the corn harvest in one of Lon Frahm's fields in Colby, KS on October 10, 2017. Frahm has been acquiring and renting farmland to now manage over 30,000 acres across three counties. To boost profits, big farm owners are widening the gap between small and large farms to where just four percent of U.S. farms produce two-thirds of the country's agricultural output.
