Likely the same reason England didnt have adiquate machinery to do all the farming they wanted to do in WW 2. Considering what they had for machinery, I say again, that they should have stuck with livestock, and everybody ate meat, the rap for fertilizing the hay grounds, and the crop grounds for making hay for cows/goats/sheep/work horses.

Funny how easy it is for some to blame others for their own lack of foresight, eh?
