My Great Uncle's daughter told me how she would help before and after school and after supper, taking turns to run the B John Deere and two bottom plow on 240 acres of fall plowing.
They plowed round and round the whole thing. While she plowed, he ate his meals and did the chores etc. It was an all day, every day job until it was done.

12 to 16 hour days less time for fueling, greasing, repairing etc. I suppose weather delays and Sundays should be considered.
Nowdays my neighbors plant 240 acres a day easily with daylight to spare.
