Back when I dropped out and went on my little "farming adventure" I was put in a position where I was working around 90 hours a week. So yeah, pretty close. I didn't get more done than the other guys. One guy I met managed a 400 acre pecan orchard. He had an army of undocumented labor and expensive harvesting tech. Another guy, well, onetime he bought a $20,000 high-tech cucumber seed-sowing machine that you pulled behind a tractor. I remember him telling me that this thing was intelligent enough to plant seeds at the perfect depth and discard any bad seeds before it plants them, all using some sort of engineering wizardy that I've since forgotten the details of. Me? There were these two kids who helped harvest stuff for me so I could focus on everything else I had to do. Farmer I was working for also had two Farmall tractors from the 40s or 50s. Pretty neat actually...when the good one worked, and the other was just there for parts, because the logic is if you buy two broken tractors then hopefully you can get one decent one by combining the two. Didn't always work out that way. I worked like hell alright, but I sure didn't feel like I was getting anything done faster. I was working hard, but I sure wasn't working smart, not compared to the other guys
