Ancient Egyptians kept horses, asses, cattle, sheep, goats and poultry and grew such crops as wheat, barley, legumes and grapes. The crude stick plows they used saw little improvement in the following 6,700 years! A typical Roman farm of about 200 B.C. was small and diversified.

Grain was cut with a sickle and threshed with a flail or trodden out by animals. Hay was panels, t available in three-foo- t widths and lengths up to 30 feet, are so lightweight they can be handled by one man. Modern farming began in England between 1700 and 1850.

With today's modern equipment and methods, it's not too surprising that from 1900-196net farm production in the U.S. has more than doubled.
