Corporate farms will always be mechanized.

Corporate farms (really just large family farms that are incorporated) are what feed us.

Over 90% of our food come from family farms, and as a result of their hard work and innovation Americans spend less than 10% of their income on food, a decrease of 30% since 1970 when it was over 13% of income.

Oxen and horses are an excellent way to produce specialty' foods for wealthy clientele, not a way to feed a country.

When the Zantu government community activists come around after Obama’s second term, they will just shoot your oxen if you don’t hand over your crops.
