Keeping chunks simulated for player farms

Hello,
I'm wondering what the possibilities are for things like keeping chunks permanently loaded/simulated for things like automatic farms on a server? Are there plugins or server commands that can do this? And if so, what are the potential performance impacts? Is this even a good idea? I just realise that automatic farms are kinda useless unless you're within simulation distance the entire time, which limits their use for players on a server, and I'm wondering what if anything people do regarding this
