Tractors vs Horses Debate Signals Mixed Australian View
The piece argues the tractor’s cost and efficiency are uncertain, citing USA and Australia data. It questions widespread tractor propaganda, favors horse work for lower cost per acre, and urges careful farm testing before switching. It notes Werribee figures showing higher operating costs for ploughing with tractors and calls for improved horse breeding. It mentions Lady Chauvel and Indian trade context plus a Widgiews Cup result and breeding emphasis for stronger teams.
