Do you mean each team can do this, only 10 teams nationally, or something else?

Likewise, without mechanisation farming is possible, just not modern farming.
What do you mean by 'modern farming'?

Yields (gross and/or net of storage and harvesting losses)?
Productivity per farm worker?
The use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers?

The only one of the items above where mechanisation is essential is productivity per farm worker. Green Revolution farming techniques in the 3d world invalidate the others as points of argument.

I'm pretty sure you're avoiding a circular argument (modern farming = mechanisation).
