If you'll try to specify what it is you're disputing, maybe I can respond.
It helps to take a definite position and support it. I'm not inclined to
guess what you're driving at. Try it.

I dont think I left you much to guess at, but I will shorten it up:

Show me the numbers where labor is cheaper than machine work.

Show me how many folk a couple with land and hand tools can feed. How is that translated to salaries (equal to teachers just as a referrence point), health care, retirement, vacation?

What is there about growing food that you can do with hand tools that someone else cannot do, x 100 or more, with a decent stock of motorized equipment?
