I live in Southern British Columbia. We are mainly fruit orchards and cattle ranching.
When I grew up the trees were huge and planted 30 x 30 and wider. Fruit was picked into wooden bushel boxes and handled by hand. Work was done off 12 and 14 ft. Ladders. Trees now are planted 2 x 10 ft and the biggest ladder is 6 ft. Most fruit is picked into bins and handled using tractor forks and forklifts.
The ranchers cut and raked hay and put up loose hay or bales I couldn't lift. Bales were picked up and stacked by hand. Today haying is mostly done by machine.
