I agree with you entirely - but there is a distinct difference between a person who feeds chickens and plants vegetables and a person who is a Farmer (I'm a townie who married a farmers daughter so I know this fact only too well!!!

Personally I'd say that all those settlers that did survive did so because they either had some skill, had help, or got extremely lucky.
Also I'd make a distinction between your wilderness settler breaking in new crops, and your established community with existing farms (run by skilled farmers who occasionally call in the peasants to do the harvests)
