It all go's in line with the era of the century you farmed in.When I started farming in 1959 I plowed with an AC WD 45 w/3-14" mounted snap coupler plow and felt good about getting 10 acres a day at the most done.I had about 80 acres of corn ground period. Later in around 1972 I had an AC D21 w/7/14" mounted plow and felt good about getting 80 to 90 acres of ground plowed in a day. The point is it is all relavent.In the 1959 era I farmed only 180 acres and in the 1970 era I farmed 850 acres. My memory says that at the end of the year I was no better off in the 70's than I was in the 50's/early 60's. My farm sale in the spring of 1972 put an end to the profit/loss pit most every one of that era was caught in.
