PS back when I was VERY young and on the farm, Dad farmed 300 tillable acres with a SM and an F-20, with 2 hired hands. That included 50 milkers, 5000 chickens, and 150 hogs. Hired hands mostly tended the animals, and dad, his sisters, and my grandparents did the field work.
Dad was on the way out of farming when I came along as he went from truck driver on the side to working in a mfg plant. When the livestock was sold, most of the fields became hay or rented out to the neighbor. Dad did have one of only a few combines in the county, and the last thing to go was him doing harvesting for the neighbors. I can't remember the model of combine, but it had a C-60 engine on it, and you had to bag the grain. It had a dump platform on it, and when you had 6 bags full, you hit the foot level, and dumped them in the field. No hopper or side delivery chute on it, just bagger platform. my favorite part was "stomping" on the foot lever to dump the bags. I believe it had a 5' swath......fog begins to drift in after 50..............
