In the light of the "added flesh" to the problem, I would appreciate your
comments on the best way to proceed (for example, would just including the
total maize area as one of the independent variables be a sufficient
control)

I think you are referring to the fractional logit (flogit). These models
are discussed (briefly) in Wooldridge's book. Also there is a talk by John
Mullahy, see http://lhcwww.soph.uab.edu/presentation.pdf.
It is a relatively simple model and can be run with Stata.
glm <dv> <iv's> , link(logit) family(binomial) robust
As Mullahy's talk shows, it is critical to use the robust option.
