520 _aA change of attitude toward work made 18th-century agronomists aware of the potential for improvement in this respect, which then paved the way toward modernized agriculture. However, the farmer and poet Isaak Maus warned his readers against the social and personal consequences of a shift to an economy that would exclude fallow lands by comparing a farmer’s basic workload on two farms in the Hessen-Rhineland region, one modernized, the other not. Although the obvious improvements in agriculture achieved by some Mennonite farmers around 1800 in this area could be seen as revolutionary, they also transformed daily life on the farm by increasing workloads , especially for women.
