The average "small" farm in the US is very large and very mechanized compared to an average farm in Europe, Asia or Africa. But when I say the advantage derives from being large and mechanized, it does imply that American farms that are less large and less mechanized do not do nearly so well.

When talking about all those “family farms” in Europe with less than 10 acres that’s not the majority of farmland or necessarily a major revenue sources for those families. I known a few people in America who call a several acres of plants their garden, so in many cases there are direct parallels they just don’t call them farm or get agricultural subsidies.
