Agreed. My younger brother row crops well over 1000 acres with two tractors - one about 200 HP and a 130 hp chore tractor. He also hays another couple thousand acres. 3000/330hp = 9.09 acres per HP. He only has the 130 hp to work around the farm in the winter and to stack bales. For feild work its more like 3000/200 = 15 acres per hp.
Back when Hugh farmed a guy with 160 acres had at least 20 hp tractor or 8 acres per HP - many had 30hp or 5.3 hp per acre. Most modern farms have a lot less HP per acre than they did 60 years ago.
