I don't get the thing about "don't use anything after 1917." But my own understanding of American agriculture comes from living in Santa Cruz County, California, where the fields in the south of the county are miles and miles of food production. I think America is number one in agriculture because we are the most efficient at it. Those farms are scientifically designed to the tiniest details, and operate at maximum efficiency. From choosing what crop to put in through getting it to market, every aspect is as efficient as it can be.

People complain about "factory farms," but they don't realize that without the automation and the systematic "factory" style, we would not only be unable to feed our own people, we could not export needed food. We also export the technology, especially in the form of farm machinery, but also because we are generous with our expertise in a variety of ways.

1. Our geographic location is the number one reason. We have all different types of climate so we can grow all types of fruit and vegetables.

2. We learned the art of crop rotation so our soil stays rich and full of nutrients.

3. We have plenty of illegal immigrants willing to work the fields for next to nothing, leaving the farm owners with more capital to put towards more equipment, etc. It is a total win win situation! LOL!

That is all I can think of.

I had seen farmlands here in California. Mostly it is the Mexicans I see who works there especially along Camarillo, California.
The reason is probably their soil and climate is good. They are organized and systematic. Even in watering plants !

Because it has an abundance of good land with good climates.
