Numbers:

India is basically an agricultural country with almost 80% of its population living in rural areas. The total number of Indian farmers is around 120 million. In the U.S., on the other hand, only a small number of people are involved in farming. The total number of U.S. farmers is only around 2.3 million.

Sizes:

Indian farms are inherited by family members from generation to generation. In each generation, the original plot of land gets subdivided among family members. Consequently, the size of an average farm is small in size, around 2.3 hectares. In contrast, U.S. farm holdings are large, around 250 hectares.

Qualifications: and

Most Indian farmers have simply continued their father’s professions. In their schooling years, they may have spent a considerable amount of time assisting their parents on the fields. They may have received basic education at the village school before dropping out. Hence, the average Indian farmer does not have any basic education and is probably a dropout. This is not the case in the U.S. American farmers are mostly well educated and will probably have specialized in some area of agriculture in college. Being educated, they keep themselves up to date on the latest developments in agriculture and incorporate these in their farmlands.
