The cost per acre is less? When one farmer could easily till and cultivate a section of land (640 acres) at just a few dollars per acre, and yield $160,000 of wheat at average yield and price of $5.

Not talking about the corporate farm here, those will be mechanized forever.

You are still full of what those oxen leave behind them.

Do you even have a clue what it costs to feed those Oxen the year around? Vet bills, etc,. Your “organic” approach will also cut crop yields in half. It will take at least 20 acres to produce pasture and feed for those Oxen, which will never be used as income to the farm.

More importantly, your “method” was how all farming was previously done. If it was as economical and effective as you claim, then it would still be exclusively used by all farmers.

Your continued argument is pointless as well as ignorant.
