Before Combine-Harvesters, #farming #peanuts was extremely hard work.
Since peanuts grow on the roots of the plant, the whole thing must be pulled up, with all the peanuts.
Then the peanuts have to be picked off the roots by hand.
The stationary peanut #picker made work that once required dozens of #laborers to only eight to work the #machine.
