Yeah the economics of farming are pretty tricky and it is easy to end up in an apples to oranges situation. Corn is tricky as well, because ThenUS is so dominant in that crop so that surely displaces some growers. I’m not discounting the labor angle entirely, but there seems to be some consensus that for at least some crops US farms are quite productive.
