Think blackearth went bust...!Farmers have farmed land over longer distances for centuries
Other farmers have aplord or decried them
If they are good at it they made a go at it
The big farming companies started this way and evolved
The biggest are over seas the kidman beef empire in the 19 century Australia Blackearth farming in Russia and many others
The uk has a few
The long term success of any is based on long term return on investment
And ability to survive the difficult periods be they weather or prices
