In 1970 you could buy a new ih 414 for the price of 8 calves, now have to sell 80 calve to buy a 140hp tractor does a lot more work but does it do 10 times the work? Probably does but with a massive reduction in labour units.
Just a thought.
Makes you wonder what all the farmers were doing with the huge amounts of money they made back then?
Although when I was a kid in the seventies and eighties every farmer I knew said there was no money in the job
