    2. Mule is a cross between a donkey and horse, alls you require is a few stable maids, and studs you swap with your neighbors to avoid inbreed problems. Presto mew little mules grow to strong reliant plow critters, which burn hay stead of fuel oil, only parts to wear out is some horse shoes every month or so, mostly for refits. Advent of good plow mules freed up a man to produce enough plus surplus, to feed the family. Some farms they just produced mules for the local area, saved up a man having that chore to his farm labor. One mule out produce a walk behind tiller in overall effect. Nothing wrong with a good FarmAll walk behind, great tool, it was the negative effects on traditional farm methods leading up to present corporatist rule of food production. Everything is a trade off, yeah, but evil that operates along the fringes of the shadows has a real tuff time corrupting whats good right and beautiful, hard to corrupt mule farming systems to your corporate benefits.
