Back then what had to be done got done the hard way because there was no other way.
Then someone went to work, (Get it?), and invented tractors and other machinery to make work easier which in turn created more work in maintaining and repairing this machinery etc.
I grew up on a small family farm run by my grandparents. My father and my uncle had both left the farm for other work. I've milked cows by hand into a bucket, hand cranked a separator and a turnip pulper, cleaned the gutters with a shovel into a manure carrier on an overhead track which was dumped into a spreader in summer/fall or into a pile in winter/spring which was then loaded by hand into the spreader when the ground firmed up enough to spread it without tearing the fields up. I'm sure many here have done the same or similar.
That's a lot of work. My grandfather retired when I was 16 and I finished high school and went to work at various jobs mostly in the construction industry, poured a lot of concrete on many jobs.
Finally got into auto and machinery repair and worked at that until I retired two years ago. I've done enough work.
It's all work, some easier, some just as hard and maybe some harder. A lot of work these days is very hard mentally on some people, others not so much.
It's all work, anyone who says different is a liar.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
