    Also straight row might have been the final challenge and done without a horse, so hand done much harder.

      How do you plow without a horse?

      Like, there’s the old joke about hooking your wife up to the plow, but someone/something needs to pull the plow.

      If not than you just use a hoe

        I think it’s also possible to push the old style plows. It just really, really sucks

          Not really.

          They need to be pulled and pushed down to stay at the right depth.

          If you’re just pushing it’s going to nosedive.

          But like, there’s no really a reason to ever try, you’d just use a hoe. That’s literally the entire reason we have hoes. It’s just a pulled plow is way faster.
