OK WL, don't let reality get in the way of your abstractions. The 'tractor' in many cases actually made the small farm -- the mule and 40 acres -- last longer, as the tractor and 40 acres farm. With ammonia-based fertlizer you have something that is just as destructive of older forms of farming

Wide spread chemical fertilizers came after the tractor. Actually, completely wrong. It came into widespread use after newly opened farmlands were quickly depleted by monocropping and lack of crop rotation. For cotton farming it became absolutely essential and even then didn't prevent the lands
