Is that wise? Imagine if he'd had an accident, theyd have hurled the entire library at him.
Naturally he was farming a huge area with excellent yields....

I believe the term you're looking for is 'industry leader'.Massive self-incrimination fail.

Is any of that rubbish true?? ie his barn breaking yields??
I've said this before, but I did my BASIS course with a farm manager who I remember saying something along the lines of: "Double shifting machinery is an easy decision when peering a spreadsheet. In practice, you want your best people on the night-shift, and they are the ones who least want to do it. In the end the day shift ends up sorting out the problems caused by the night shift."
Don't mean to say it can't be done, but does highlight the challenges.
I think the term is "reasonable"!
You wont hold onto good staff for long if you expect them to work all nighter's for months on end!
Would have to be a single bloke/ woman, once they get a partner/ kids etc they will soon say that's it I have had enough of night working.
No idea, i'm a humble chicken farmer who plays at a bit of arable.Is any of that rubbish true?? ie his barn breaking yields??
We did 12 to 12 worse time was tween 2 and 5 am sometimes had a power nap everyone else was asleep so didn't notice lolNever done it but in Australia some farms did 12 till 12 night shifts. At least that way you get decent period of time working in daylight. 3-4 in the morning was always killer for me. Used to hallucinate some nights. Once sun came up felt like could keep going for 3 or 4 hours We did 7-7.

Did about 5 days at a time got rained off a couple of Times so had a break
So much for progress. Seems like the human race has taken a big step backwards to me if you've got to work all night farming.
That kind of shift system is practised a lot in other industries. They will recruit a larger than normal labour pool, and of course recognise that it is preferable from an output (and safety) point of view to have people working dedicated shifts rather than someone trying to do stupidly long shifts instead.
Humans need to sleep, even the military recognise this, and unless you are drugging them, people are going to begin to make mistakes in a big way, and a cultivator/pylon interaction is the inevitable result.
It is probably ok from a short term point of view, perhaps over harvest or the cultivations period, but long term, it would take some serious management.
