Consider for grazing use 2-6 acres per cow is needed. 4 cows, isnt even a blip. Nor can you farm most crops meaningfully on 20 acre plots either.
On lot 1, most of the taxed value is derived from the improvements, not the land itself.

Currently reading The Market Gardener and it's surprisingly fascinating for a guide to intensively cultivating on about 1.5 acres - about 140k CAD gross, 60k revenue on 1.5 acres - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18406251-the-market-gard...

Perhaps your definition of crop is too narrow. Something like hops is well suited to "commercial" sizes starting at 20 acres.[1]
Vineyards supplying a co-operative? 20 acres of fruit trees for boutique cider production?
I think there's probably quite a few examples of 20 acre crops which are sustainable commercially.

As for small scale farming:

edit: To be exact about $720k an acre, given this nearly adjacent:
(.3 acre 4391 sqft, $20k taxes)

again the improvements are worth more than the land, but if the guy had a full acre that wouldn't be true.
