Due to economies of scale, this statement is incorrect.
In chapter 5 for The Grapes Of Wrath, the owners of the land suggest the tenant farmers to move to California.
Work the land to pay the rent.

Work the land to pay the rent.
Full owners owned the land they operated; part owners operated part of their own land and rented the remaining land; tenants rented the land they worked.
here is the answer, Because the owners are losing money on tenant farmers. If I am wrong comment down below
farmers cultivate in small plot of land because 60 families of medium and large farmers cutivate more than 2 hectares of land and the remaining land is used by the large farmers which is more than 10 hectares. so farmers cultivate in small plot of land because the land is very less and the people are very more.

1. 21 years or older2. Filing a small fee and farming land for 5 years3. Staking out a claim4. Purchase from other land owners
The big land owners had progressively taken over the common land when the small farmers, who made up the army, were away on campaign. The small farmers needed the common land to graze their plough ox and also supply fruits, nuts, acorns etc. This left them desperate, and had to sell their land. They could not get rural jobs as the large owners used slave labour as cheaper. The Gracchi brothers tried to stop and reverse this and were murdered for it. This was the beginning of a series of events leading to the 'Roman revolution'.
That the farmers must leave
Not in the US, at least. With the shrinking number of farmers and more efficient farming methods, many farmers (if not most) farm at least some land that they do not live on but they are the tenant.
