Not everybody thinks that veganism is the way to go.
People might actually like raising cattle, fixing fences, driving around on a tractor moving around bales of hay.
People knowing that there is no adequate social safety net so their land is their retirement fund, totally or in part. So waiting until the last minute is kinda the goal.
People actually wanting to pass down things to their kids, grandkids, family that have some meaning. So keeping land that their grandparents passed to them until its time to pass it down to the next generation.
Humans aren't rational creatures so mush as creatures that can rationalize, so we don't do things to "maximize/minimize" in the way that mathlord economists want human beings to behave.
My wife has spent the last 20 years turning this place into a functioning farm, she's one of those folks big on regenerative/holistic/beyond organic type of stuff. And I'm here because she's here.
She jumped into it because she got tired of being fucked over by bosses as an employee, because people kept telling her various versions of, "what you're wanting to do is dumb and its going to fail", and to keep a super chud relative from taking over the place for as long as possible.
If that's the case, why not do it now?
Just off the top of my head...

And what's your reason, out of interest?
