Farming areas are awesome. We still have somit,arms that do it all by hand. There is a guy who goes to my church that started a nonprofit to farm and give food to those in need, i have helped with picking beans on his farm before, now he has an agreement with the jail to get prisoners helping on the farm. Apparently it is a great christian environment for them and the prisoners love it.
We do that with our garden, we plant about 5 acres. Whoever needs it, can have it
if they pick it.
As for the other it is way to vast of acres to do by hand. It takes about a week or two
for each crop. I thank God for the equiment, If it wasn't for the equiment, I wouldn't
be farming, nothing but cows.
