It's better for the soil, better for the animals, better for the farms, and better for the farmer. Period.
It's also a way to get kids excited about farming again...

There goes the next generation of small farmers. Sigh.
Farming with draft Power is vastly more interesting to the young heir:
"Hey! Want to take this donkey here, and hook him up to your all-terrain wagon and get him to pull the rocks you clear out of the potato field to the big pile we are saving up??"

The future is looking brighter already!
