Method 22. 
This three-man crew arrangement is used on a sugar-beet farm in 
Kansas for a small acreage (not over 50 acres) where it is desired to 
allow all time possible for working in the beet field. Two men work 
the first day, one the second, and three the third day. By this 
method 32 acres, or 32 tons of hay, are harvested and put into the 
stack per week. The cost is considerably more than for method 24.
