Just for the fun of it, I think I'll throw in a kink in your
thinking.

Assuming you use gross sales as your model !!!
That indeed is a big assumption ???
Perception is big is bad and big is corporate
Economic class is useful ,income from farm below 100,000
is generally a family farm or farm enterprise.
Since most large farms are not public that further
makes it difficult to pin down. However revenue
at least puts the corporate farm on the radar.
We just don't know who is flying without a visual.
Some corporate use multi layers of corporation
that serve as their form of stealth to conceal their
true nature.
This is only a starting point of any analysis of
corporate farming.
