This is a great example of the number of men needed for the Steam Engines. Imagine the amount of coal & water needed every hour.

Massive plough operation!

@john-barry, but at least they would be really average peas.

Folklore has it that this plough was actually once pulled by the Green Giant himself!

As a farmer, if I couldn't bring this vegetable to market at a better price than $17 to appease the buying public I would have a furrowed brow; wondering if my business was going to bottom out.

'Tis true that GG ran a string of eight hoers at a cruel pace as they called out the Ho Ho Ho chant to keep synchronized....critics felt it was really no more than a brain washed cultivate.

somewhere,a good piece north of here,a noble man who set out with the best intent to entertain and educate those less fortunate than himself,now sees giants,generic peas and rendered earth layed out in tragic fashion

@john-barry Yes it's true JayBee; the landscape is scarred in swath widths of fourteen, littered with cowpies and beautiful, but vain light brown cattle with lucrative Cadbury's contracts, who will produce milk only destined to create Jersey Milk bars.  Sadly the world has passed by the well intentioned man of whom you speak...........

there`s not much that escapes your attention/detection.....and that may resemble a Cadbury Cow......but in reality,it`s a big red cow bred in the high hills above Reggio Emilia

Tony is always forthcoming in his cheesewords......but his re-stocking expeditions always seem to involve clandestine border crossings and 3am meetings with spurious "officials"......it` tough for the average Joe to grace his own humble table thusly

I'm sure that border crossings of "Tony The Cheese"' Perrone will be much easier now that he has his new Caddy.  Cheese booty will be even more forthcoming when his image as a "grande fromage" is further magnified by his beautiful new ride. 

On a separate issue....I am concerned by your comment that he buys stockings....are you sure?
