Sure, it's not really monopolistic, but there's definitely a trend towards concentration. Think about the number of unique farmland owners as a percentage of population, compared to 50, 100, or 200 years ago.

Looking at it the other way around, I'd much rather be a farmer in 2020 than 1920 or 1820. You'd earn much more.
