Is the death tax the death knell for organic family owned farms?

Yesterday I wrote a post about the effects on hunting lands, but by the time I was finished typing I realized the reason hunting lands would be eliminated is that family owned farms would be either split up and sold to developers or bought up by large corporate farms. This should be especially alarming to those who want to buy non GMO locally grown organic foods. Most of these farms are family owned. When the owners pass away, with the inheritance tax, the heirs will not be able to afford to carry on the family farm because they won't be able to afford the taxes.

This should not be a Republican vs Democrat issue. Yes the Republicans were the primary proponents arguing for eliminating the death tax, but most organic farms are owned by liberals. (Disclaimer: I tend to be a conservative on most issues, but there are some where we should agree, and this is one of them.)

If we keep the inheritance or death tax in place, we may be only a generation away from losing nearly all access to non GMO foods. The only organic farms will also be large corporate farms instead of family owned farms. Gone are the days when a family could count on their children continuing the tradition of farming the family homestead because the federal government will mandate that it be sold piecemeal to subdivision developers or intact to farm corporations in order for the government to extract its pound of flesh.
