Difference between farms in India and USA.

  • USA is a commercially strong country.
  • The people of USA are very hard working .
  • While cultivating or planting crops they use the most advanced tools and machines.
  • The farmers in USA are very rich and literate people of USA don't  consider farming a thing of embarrassment or insult .
  •  If you visit USA, the lands where crops are cultivated are very big .
  •  While in India lands are very  small .
  • It is due to rule that from the fathers property each son will get one part, so if a father has a lot of land and it is divided between 4 sons then automatically the land will be small.
  • If the first son is going to set up a factory in his land then other 3 brother will have while farming.
  • In India farming is considered a thing of embarrassment.
  • In fact, today also people think that the farmers are illiterate and poor.
  • When we think about a farmer we think of a thin man holding a spade in the field and then digging it.
  • The difference is that India practices intense subsistence agriculture, meaning  they grow a lot of food to feed themselves, and the USA performs commercial agriculture, meaning we grow most of our food for profit.
  •  India doesn't use as  much technology as we do and they have "family farms" (farms run by families or villages).
  • The USA uses agribusiness, meaning all parts of agriculture are used to make a business, and the USA doesn't have family farms.
