You'd be surprised. They certainly want higher yields and returns, but many people can be resistant to making the kinds of changes or long term investments to actually realize those goals. Corporate/bureaucratic governance is arguably more prone to doing the sorts of bloodless cost/benefit analysis that can push productivity, while smaller family farms might be more focused on just getting through the day-to-day work.
