Shovels and "widgers" are great for gardens, but farms are not 100% garden.
Pushing down old barns, regrading driveways & paths, pulling out logs,
bush-hogging clear areas not in pasture, mowing & baling hay, not to mention
preparing the soil for planting, harvesting, etc----I like handwork, but not
52 acres worth.
