A few people I know have/are done medical school in the Caribbean and they are practicing or doing their residency in the US. But you need remarkable USMLE scores if you're a foreign graduate to even be able to get a residency. Also, alot of states will require a minimum amount of undergrad to be able to be licensed. And lastly, make sure your school is on the approved list for each state. What do you mean by "Bachelor of Medicine" and "Bachelor of Surgery?" Because when you graduate medical school you walk out with an MD, not a bachelors.

MB BCh are the degrees offered in most countries outside the US to medical students. The UK, Ireland, the Commonwealth and some other countries have MB BCh instead of MD. I think you would be allowed to practise as long as your University is recognised as having the minimum standards for the US. Hope this helps.

I have no clue on the 1st one but I would say that the percentage would have stayed relatively the same its just that there are fewer overall farms but they are bigger on average. #2 according to 2 of my professors around 2% #3 technology has allowed farms to be far more productive and signifigantly reduced the need for farm workers.... just think it takes a handfull of people a relatively short period of time to harvest hundreds of acers of corn today.... where as before modern technology it would have taken several dozens of people in order to do a smaller amount of land and it would have taken longer to harvest it as well.... not to mention... planting, fertilizing, pesticides, and the technology in some of the seeds themselves (GM seeds).
