Modern agriculture in the United States is best described as increasingly specialized (concentrating on limited numbers of crops or types of animals). Although mixed crop and livestock farming still exists, more and more farms concentrate on one or a few crops and animals. Examples include dairy farming, corn and soybean farms, pig-raising operations, specialized vegetable farming around cities, and large-scale wheat production. Machinery can be used more economically on large amounts of land than on smaller plots. Thus, mechanization is very important, and the average farm size continues to increase. Even though many farmers are either limiting their use of fertilizer and pesticides or using ones that are less ecologically damaging, farming as a whole remains dependent on these chemicals.
