1 One horse used for unloading. 
Eleven men and 11 horses put up 25.5 tons(17 acres) per day. Yield, 1.5 tons per acre. Man-hours 4.03, 
horse-hours 3.76 per ton. Labor cost, per ton, $1.18. 
MetTuHop 20. 
This is a rather large crew, adapted to an area of 300 acres or more. 
The men are all employed throughout the day and there is no lost or 
idle time. Two teams and three wagons are used to haulin. Assoon 
as a load arrives at barn, the team is hitched to an empty wagon, while 
the barn crew of 4 men unload. Two men remain in the field all of 
the time, to build load, so there is always one wagon loading, one being 
unloaded, and one on way between barn and field. This is a very 
efficient method.
