    Some years after mechanical horse-drawn harvesters were in common use in the States, an American was travelling through the French countryside. As he passed a wheatfield he noticed the farmer and his family stooped over harvestng their grain by hand with sickles. He asked the farmer “Why don’t you use a harvester? With less effort, you could gather ten times as much wheat.” In typical Gallic fashion the farmer replied… “Monsieur, I do not have ten times as much wheat!”
