compared to doing it by hand. Everything is relative. When farming years ago, the time to get something done was factored into it also. Can't leave those bundles of grain out in the field a long time or mold will set in. When plowing, it beat not getting it done befor winter froze the ground.
"TIME" has to be factored into work being done back 100+ years ago. Wood to burn was worth next to nothing? They were stripping the land of forest to get open land to plow. Is using a brand new tractor now for growing $1.50/bu corn efficent? Interesting question. Gene
