Most farms are not large corporate. It is one guy and the hired hand farming 3000 acres. Legally they are corporations, but it is still small

You're technically correct, the most common farm is small, but the large farms are so much larger that the average acre is on a large farm. Not sure I explained that clearly - it's similar to how if there was a group of people consisting of 99 minimum wage workers and a billionaire, the average person is poor, but the average dollar is held by the billionaire. Accidents are more closely correlated per bushel, not per farm.
