American agricultural production is highly developed and highly competitive. Less than 2% of the country's total population are engaged in agricultural production, but they meet the food needs of 300 million Americans and are a major global grain exporter. The reason is that the United States has started modern agriculture in an early time.

The United States is the country with the most developed agriculture in the world. Due to the characteristics of farm management of American agriculture, its intensive and large-scale characteristics are very distinct, which has become a major feature of American agriculture. It is worth mentioning that agricultural production in the United States basically realized mechanization in the 1940s. It is basically mechanized operation from sowing, fertilization to harvest, with very high efficiency. The standardized mechanical operation of American agriculture is not only very efficient, but also very prominent in unit yield.

When it comes to American agriculture, many people often think of the big farm model. For example, the scene of modern large-scale farms in the United States: an American farmer farming thousands of acres of land; Spraying pesticides by aircraft; Using transgenic technology to solve the problem of diseases, pests and weeds; In the United States, a single crop is planted in a county or even a state, and the agricultural products produced are transferred to the whole country and even all over the world through long-distance transportation.

The level of mechanization in the United States is very high. In particular, the mechanical quality and performance are greatly improved. For example, in some difficult fields: the harvesting of potatoes, beets, tomatoes and grapes has been mechanized, while livestock and poultry breeding has been automated and industrialized. In addition, the combination of American agricultural machinery with computer, satellite remote sensing and other technologies is developing towards high automation and accuracy.

The cultivated land area of the United States accounts for 13% of the cultivated land area in the world. It is the country with the largest cultivated land area in the world. Therefore, the scale effect of agricultural development has been maximized in the United States.
