Absolutely, just like any farm. Capital is the bread and butter of farming. Without it, farming wouldn't happen, wouldn't even exist. Besides, farming is a business and all businesses need capital in order to function properly, no exceptions!

Why are dairy farms largely family owned and operated?
Dairy farms are largely family owned and operated because the cows need so much care that only family members are usually considered reliable enough to work on the farm. The cows need to be milked twice a day; they must be fed and for much of the year taken to pasture. The farms consist of barns to shelter the animals, silos to store food for the winter, crop-growing machinery (such as tractors and harvesters), and refrigerated equipment to prevent the milk from spoiling. Thus, dairy farms involve a high capital investment. Barns, silos, and other structures involve a substantial investment. Tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery are expensive. In recent years, some dairy farms have started to rely on non-family labor. the cows need so much care that only family members are usally considered reliable enough to work on the farm
What are some reasons why most family farms in the Midwest have been replaced by corporate farms?
If such reasons exist, they are mere misconceptions. Most corporate farms are family farms themselves: it is not possible to replace a family farm with a family farm if it's still going to be a family farm, no matter how large or small it is. The term "corporation" is merely a business label applied to a firm, regardless of what kind of firm or business it is or who it is owned by. A family have just as much right to have their farm labelled as a corporation as any other family owning a non-farming business. To answer the question, many small farms have grown into large farms and have had the corporation label added because of the expressed demand for cheaper and safer food by the consumer. Consumers wield far greater power in the marketplace than the producer could ever dream of having, and as a result the producer is forced to change and adapt to comply with the kind of demands consumers demand.
