The units are called milking machines...just like a big vacuum.

Really in the last 50 years it hasn't changed. Large farms, ability to use science and computers for better milk production, growing of crops.
Farming, at least in industrial nations, has become far more mechanized over the past 50 years. While the tractor was around 50 years ago, it has become for more advanced in its abilities and comfort offerings. What with mechanical power being supplied from the PTO, a number of attachments can be used for a host of field activities. Mowers, hay balers, sorters, harrows, grain drills, are but a few of the implements that can be used today. Add to the fact that tractors can also sport front end loaders, and you end up with a very versatile tool for farm related activities.



That's just focusing on the tractor, there's also an assortment of other farm devices for harvesting grain crops, vegetable crops, pest management, fruit crops, watering, shipping and storage.
