Wheat doesn't care how big is the farm it's growing on. Same techniques can be used on any
farm. Look at official statistics for olive production of Spain, smaller farms have better results, but the difference is tiny, a few percent.
Also a 'large' farm for spain is 'medium' in UK and 'tiny' in US. Usually people who say small mean family owned, not corporate.
This is simply a matter of capital and land allocation/distribution/policy.
My friend is literally a family farmer, and all she grows is corn and soybeans, in heavily-mechanized monoculture, with all the fertilizer and pesticides you'd expect. It seems like who exactly owns the farm doesn't bear much on what is the most profitable thing to do with the farm.
But this is a world I'm not very familiar with and I'd like to hear from people who actually know what they're talking about.
