One farm can supply potatoes to thousands of people. Distribution and long-term storage are the practical problems. The farms in my area can feed everyone in my area.
Deer are opportunists. If course they go into fields where they exist. I see deer in areas where there no farms for many miles, just woods. The deer eat in the woods, but they also come out and graze on the ditch banks along the roads at night.
All farmers are row cropping, unless they grow livestock and buy all the feed instead of growing their own.
BTW, you're wrong about there being fewer small farmers than large corporate farms. Almost 96% of all farms in the US are family farms. For example, in my county there are farms all over the county, but just one corporate farm. That farm grows mostly corn, which is also edible by people.
