The discussion article says yes - we do produce more now. Some of the gains are because we produce a lot more canola and corn now than we did before and less grains and canola/corn are more fertilizer intensive. But they do make that point that production has improved.
Its a good document and makes most of the points you'd expect. Its not just 'we are reducing this by 30% and screw you farmers'.
