Yeah, because farmers voluntarily sign up land that probably should have never been farmed to begin with.
Not the case with my family's land.

Your family would be the first one I've ever heard on that was forced to not farm, unless it was a compliance issue. And even then it's only "forced" if you want to participate in USDA programs.
Unless of course you were referring to the "never should have been farmed" part. If that's the case, if it qualified for one of those programs, it was either a wetland or other susceptible ground that was probably better off not being farmed. Those programs have very specific criteria to qualify.
