It may be easier to understand as follows:
Planting crops which are the same as those planted on large farms will lead to economic disaster for the smaller farmer.
are the same as - means the identical, exact same things
the same crops as are planted - the "as are" acts as the term comparing the small farm to the large farm; so, this means that the small farm will use plants totally identical to the plants at the large farm
