Years ago farmers had a thing called "crop rotation" which helped soil structure, plus they added a lot of humus to the soil in the form of manure, straw, stalks, etc. Now it's the same crop repeated year after year and chemicals added that destroy good bacteria, worms, etc., along with the bad stuff, and chemical fertilizers instead of "natural fertilizers".

Some was no doubt due to improved plants, but most was due to his farming practices. He alsoo had it figuredout that planting more seeds did not mean more corn or beans either... there was a limit to how much you could plant.
