In this April 17, 2018 photo Ted Kreke, left, and his son John farm ground in Teutopolis, Ill. John  plans to take over the family farm once he finishes his studies at Lake Land College and then at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Over the last 30 years, family farm ownership hasn't decreased. In fact, according to a report by the USDA last year, such farms accounted for 99 percent of all U.S. farms and 89 percent of production in 2015. In spite of that trend, Kessler plan's to enter the field once they complete their degrees. (Keith Stewart/Effingham Daily News via AP)
