In India, a typical Indian farm is about 1.5 hectares in area. The farmer takes a tractor on rent for ploughing his field, or some farmers use old methods to plough the field by using bullocks. All the members of the farmer family help in various farm activities. They buy HYV seeds and implements from the bank or Agricultural Co-operative Society. They sell the produced crop in the market even at unfavourable prices.
In USA, the average size of a farm is about 250 hectares. The farmers reside in the farm. Adequate measures are taken to control pests that can damage the crop. Soil samples are sent to soil testing laboratory from time to time to check the nutrient contents of the soil. Tractors, seed drills, leveller, combined harvester and thresher are used to perform various agricultural operations. A farmer in USA works like a businessman and not a peasant farmer.
