100 points for who gets it right, HURRY I NEED THIS ASAP. You are a time traveling troubleshooter. We'll shoot her. While passing through the late middle ages, you happened to overhear the following conversation between a plowman a plowman and his master.

Master:What sayest thou plowman? How do your work?
Plowman:O, my Lord, I work very hard: I go out at Dwan, driving the cattle to the field, and I yoke the to the plow. Nor is the weather so bad in winter that I dare to stay at home, for fear of my Lord: but when the Oxen are yoked, and the the plow share and clutter attached to the plow, I must plow one whole field a day, or more.
Master:Have you any assistant?
Plowman:I have a boy to drive the oxen with a goad, and he too is hoarse with cold and shouting.
Master:What more do you do in a day?
Plowman:Certainly I do more, I must fill the Manger of the oxen with hay, and water them and carry out the dung.
Master: Indeed this I'd a great labor.
Plowman: Even so, it is great labor for I am not free.
[Source: The Dialogue Between Master & Disciple on laborers] You decide to stop and help the poor plowman. How can he improve his job so he grows more crops and hopefully has more time to enjoy life? Remember, he can only use items that are available in his world. (Hint: There are three main action he can take.)

Use the resources links to up with a plan of action. Use the following chart to organize your ideas.
