What's changed? From WHEN? Prior to the tractor Big farmers had lots of help or slaves. After the tractor came around farmers because more productive and hired fewer people but there were new AG related jobs selling and repairing equipment. Lot of farm boys came home from WWII with money in their pockets and that about put the horse out of business. Equipment got bigger requiring less help on the farm and kids started leaving the farm in droves. 80's farm crash put a lot of family farms under and BTO's became more common. Somewhere in there confinement barns for pigs and poultry made production go up, dairies got larger and feed lots became the norm. You still feed cows, pigs and poultry to get meat. Still milk cows and still plant and harvest crops. Hows that for summing up the last 200 years?
