What is the difference between corporate farming and family farming?
There is no difference, actually. Many, if not most corporate farms are owned by families, and are still considered a family farm. The term "family farm" should never always equate to a "small farm," nor should the term "corporate farm" should ever equate to a large-scale operation owned by a multi-national company or corporation. Many family farms are very large (often being the largest farming enterprises in the country), and many corporate farms have been formed by families who wished to take advantage of the legal and accounting benefits that comes with operating such a business enterprise.
What is the difference between local and corporate farming?
No difference. Corporate farming is merely a business label applied to name a farm or ranch in order for a family (or a group of people) to take advantage of the accounting and legal benefits that comes with such a label. Corporate farms can be very local, it just depends on where you are located in proximity to such farms. Any farm of any size or business-type can be deemed "local" if you live within 50 miles of it.

Compared with family farming corporate farming is?
Still a family farm, despite the size. Here's a fascinating statistic that most don't realize: According to the EPA, 87% of all farms are individually or family-owned and operated. Corporate farms make up 4% of those farms, and only 1% of such corporate farms are solely owned and operated by other-cooperative, estates, trusts, etc. Another source (from the book Compassion by the Pound) states that the number of farms that are corporations themselves are family-owned and operated. Many, if not all such farms started small as the quaint, romantic-type farm many think of today into such large corporations.
How has technology farming?
Technology has affected farming by making it possible for fewer people to grow more crops per acre, at lower cost than would otherwise be the case. Technology has also contributed to the decline of the family farm and the rise of large corporate farms that are more like farming factories.
