What is happening is that your being naive. You are attempting to paint a colorful situation with black and white. This is not a boolean if statement. You're wondering why wouldn't these farmers just walk away from their farm? Well there are many reasons: It's been in their family for generations. It's all they know how to do. They have legal obligations. The land may be worth millions but if all the buyers are aware of the fact that it's not worth buying then all those $$'s just mean you can take another loan out against it; which is better than parting with it for nothing. How about instead of asking questions you go do some research. I am not a farmer I just know a lot of farmers and they all drive old shitty cars and can't afford to get pay for their mothers dialysis.
