I wonder how many understand what it means to “sack” grain and how impractical that would be on today’s family farms where they are dealing with hundred of thousands of bushels per farm.

I wonder how many here understand the yield difference between that picture and now.

I wonder how many here on this thread have actually run a tractor or combine, picked rocks, or hauled small square bales or grain. Anyone who has - can tell who hasn’t...

Today’s farm production could not be matched using oxen or horses. It’s a practical impossibility, something that anyone near a modern farm operation would understand.
What

Nobody said that. It is just with the socialists running things we could go back to that if fuel got to 10.00 gal? Who knows, maybe we could feed ourselves just fine. Screw the rest of the world.
