This is possible through the promotion of an intensive farming system by increasing the amount of labor and capital applied per hectare of land.
In turn, efficiency translated into intensive farming by the farmholder and his family.

Another feature of this mode of intensive farming is that women also worked hard.
The rotations were often amended in detail, partly to stave off crop diseases induced by intensive farming.
