I like the picture showing the horses pulling a planter that probably wasn't built until the 1970s or so.
Both of my parents grew up in south central Nebraska. One room school houses.
Dad had a manure spreader that looked something like this one. <https://bigiron.blob.core.windows.net/public/items/88b773005b2be71180c000155d74b72e/antquehorsedrawnmanurespreader-4.jpg>
It was originally horse drawn. He had a mower and a two row corn planter that were too. My parents grew up during the Great Depression. They didn't throw much away. A penny saved is better than a penny earned.
