I was about to saw plow farming IS outdated, then I realized modern farming is just industrialized plow farming, and instead of one plow, one ox, and one guy, it's one guy and a giant machine that drags dozens of plows at once AND seeds, covers, and fertilizes everything in a single pass.

There is "conventional farming" with plowing and there is "no-till farming". What you are describing is a direct drill seeder, which is not for plowing. On the contrary, it is trying to disturb the soil as little as possible and is used on no-till farms

Neat! My only experience with farming is farming simulator, and I haven't played much beyond harvesting a ton of wheat and corn.
