Production...production...production! Everyone has been trained to work harder and faster to produce more in less time. More land, bigger tractors, bigger equipment, bigger loans...all adds up to...you guessed it: "Tractor Abuse". Here's some interesting data on labor vs. production: When farming was first getting started in this country it took 300 man hours to produce 100 bushel of wheat, from soil preparation to harvesting and transportation. Back in the 1930's that figure dropped to about 20 man hours. During the 1950's it was down to about 5 man hours. Today, I would guess we are approaching 2 man hours for that same 100 bushel.
