Large farms need to be broken up into smaller farms where it employs more, teaches more, and strethans food security. A great example is the farms in Russia. There is big equipment in Russia, but the majority of grain farms are only 10 to 500 acres, the combines are small, and seed drills are only 10ft to 15ft compared to 40ft on the palouse.
@TrevorStruthers
@TrevorStruthers 10 күн бұрын
The newest drills even on these hills here are up to 56 feet wide and going like 6 or 7 mph. And its all one pass now so one tractor does the work of two. Or 4 tractors worth of work only 15 years ago is now done by one. Thats a lot less help a farm needs
@ForrestHaynes-u6h
@ForrestHaynes-u6h 10 күн бұрын
All though in few throughout the world, there are people who believe machines are degrading society as they do the work that man should do. Their belief is that if you have work and purpose, there is less time for sinning and more time devoted to doing good. A 56-foot seed drill does plant an impressive amount of land, but think how many people would be out of stealing and drugs if they had land to work and long days of broadcasting seed and plowing. They would also have the harvest and feeling of purpose, not the feeling of being forgotten and unwanted.
