the beginning of the end.

I don't see why we cant use horses TH to pull ploughs, my late brother in law ploughed with horses most of his working life, ok I know most horses we see these days are riding horses but I still think it would be possible, maybe use donkeys(any mules in this country?)in the old days they used oxen, so in theory any animal we could train might be used to pull a plough, although of course to begin with it'll be subsistence farming, start with a small allotment sized piece and work up from there.

we will need animals for their manure to put the goodness back into the soil after decades of "intensive"/non organic agri businesses.
