It's quite different now, for me anyway. Back then, half the farm was in hay, one quarter in oats, one quarter in corn. One quarter of our acres were plowed down in the fall. That was the old corn stubble and stalks. That ground would be worked with either a spring tooth or disc or both in the early spring (April) and put into oats with grass seed (alfalfa, etc). Then we'd be hauling manure on our new corn ground (one quarter of our ground) and that would be plowed in mid to late May and planted to corn. Then, we'd be cultivating corn and putting up hay for the rest of the summer 'till the oats were ripe. We were busy all year but we didn't have to get the entire farm plowed, worked and planted in a week. And, we didn't have enough money to own a fleet of tractors although we ended up with three. A '36 WC, a '49 WD and a '59 D17. Now, the smallest tractor I own has 16 more horsepower than the D17.
