But all that vast expanse of farms require inputs of fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide, and fuel to run, all petrochemical.

Without cheap energy those 1,000 acre (404 hectare) farms are just big weed patches.

They are most certainly not weed patches - they were farmed long before fertilizer was available. The yield will simply go down.
