Wouldn't pre-industrial farming still involve mostly mindless, repetitive work in the fields?

- guard-of-terra 12y agoYes and no. When there's a disturbance in the repetitive work, it's your task to figure out how to fix it. Also, high-level management of the operation (what to plant, when to plant, how much effort to spend on each task) is up to you too. In hilly places rice growing has created the whole new highly custom landscapes. Compare this to XX century school or factory assembly line where you have no choices.
