It won’t work on the ten thousand acre fields of the High Plains.

They must plant three times the crop as the animals have to also eat.
Agriculture is a labor intensive form of work. It used to be done by indentured servants, serfs, slaves. Now tractors do the work.

Why do you think so many of the children of the farmers fled to the Big City!

And then when you do have a crop ready for harvest, here comes the “White Harvester” for you! It happened to us in 1951, then drought in 1952. We then left the farm.

Hell it won’t work on hundred acre farms. Hobby farmers can do it if they wish but real farmers wouldn’t even consider such stupidity.
