To be fair, that machine took N people to manufacture (along with upkeep, which I imagine that one farm person is no longer doing on the complicated farm machinery), and another M people to drill/refine/transport the fuel, fertilizer, pesticides, and other chemicals needed to run such a farm so efficiently. I wonder how big N+M+1 is..
