The most successful of farmers IMO, are those doing exactly the same as their predecessors were doing 200 years ago, albeit using tractors instead of horses etc. Mixed farmers growing their own grain, feeding it to their own livestock, returning FYM back to the land.
We reached a peak of knowledge back in the 1960's / 70's when ADAS was at full stretch. Everything since has just been re inventing the wheel. I can't think of anything radicle in the last 40 years.
I don't think that's true at all. We've made tremendous technological progress
