i grew up on the other side of the pond, and as a kid (in the 80s) fertilizer came in 112 lb bags (uk hundredweight)they were plastic bags and slippery, hard to grip, used to get beet pulp in 112 lb bags too, they were paper and bigger than i was!
I remember my dad talking about harvest when he was a kid (he was born in 26), threshing machine, and wheat in burlap bags, that held 3 bushels, they used the same bags for all grains, wheat would have been 180 lbs, while oats were only 90 something... We used to have a "sack lifter" looked like a two wheel hand trolley, but had a lift mechanism built in to lift the bags about 4 ft in the air.
Once i was in my late teens, i worked for a big potato farmer, 56 lb bags of potatoes, hand stacked 40 to a pallet. Most trucks were loaded with a fork truck, but sometimes were had to hand bomb them into a reefer. I was a lot fitter back then!
