From
Business Insider, via
Big Picture Agriculture:
In 2001, Brazilian agricultural exports totaled $16 billion, according to USDA analyst Oliver Flake. By 2010 exports had climbed to a record $62 billion and reached approximately $80 billion in 2011.
That represents an increase of 400 percent over 10 years.
Comparatively, U.S. exports rose about 175 percent over the same period,
Flake says.
What's their secret?
A place called Mato Grosso.

| One contiguous farm of approximately 8300 acres |
That is freaking amazing. 8300 acres is about 2/3 of the size of my home township, and 36% of the size of a standard surveying township.
