How is it that crop yields increased in the decaded after ww2 despite the number of farms decreasing?

Crop yields increased after World War II due to advancements in agricultural technology, including improved seed varieties, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides. These innovations allowed farmers to produce more food on smaller plots of land. Additionally, the adoption of mechanization reduced labor needs and increased efficiency, enabling remaining farms to maximize productivity. The combination of these factors led to higher overall yields despite a decrease in the number of farms.
