Fourteen horses pull 6 disc plows with drag harrows behind and enable one man to plow and harrow abo,ut 10 acres per day. Cutting the overhead by effective use of every bit of man and horse power, by producing as large a vol ume as possible per unit of energy expended is the most effective way to establish low cost production.
