Much higher yields also. 200 bushel to the acre instead of 35.

" I'd say it's grown on a much larger scale now."

Perhaps you are confused. It is weighed on a much larger scale now; it is grown in the ground just like it was a hundred years ago. ;D

<<And how was corn planted, tilled and harvested 100 years ago?>>

By hand and by mule. Mules didn't cost $200k like a combine.

<<You're the farmer, but I'd say it's grown on a much larger scale now.>>

I've heard that the US grew more corn during WWII than is grown now.
