One of the big time savers in todays cropping is no till planting, it does away with the biggest time consumer, The Plow.
We raised corn in a neighbors 50 acre field a few times, one year dad, myself and a hired hand plowed, dragged, disced, planted and sprayed non stop, start to finish using dad's Ford 850 and WD Allis with 2-14 plows, 7 ft disc and 2 row planter.
It took us 42 hours, one would rest while two worked rotating turns, rest 4 hours, work 8, mom brought all of our meals and fuel to the field.
One person with one 30-40 hp tractor, working 10-12 hour days start to finish, I'd guess it would take 2 1/2 to 3 weeks.
Back then when crop season started we worked 14-15 hour days. Today it's cattle and hay with a few acres of corn for cattle feed.
I've got a set of 3-16's for my tractor, don't remember when I last hooked to them, maybe 10, 15 years ago.
