The phrase "better yields" is exactly synonymous with "increased yields". A crop's yield is its volume, measured in bushels. There is literally no other way to interpret this.

And that'd be pedantic. Better can be more cost-effective, cheaper in time or money or equipment or quality of land required. I grew up on a farm, live on one now, my family has farmed for 300 years, so I guess I win?

You seem to think you're disagreeing with me, but everything you said is consistent with my description.
