Seems to me there are way fewer farmers per capita and yet much more food produced, thanks to more & improved capital use in farming.

And where did the farmers go? The children of farmers were absorbed into jobs that were created for automating the farming and other industrial work. Farm automation did not cause unemployment overall.
