Wondering about the labour-intensiveness of rice agriculture especially in the colder regions like Central China, Japan, and Italy, I have been left to wonder whether a breed of water buffaloes that can withstand colder temperatures is plausible at all.
And in the case that it can be, I do also wonder whether this can contribute to the case of land enclosure, or instead, lead to the suppression of the use of the draft animal and the acreage system associated with it in favour of kicking the issue of land down the road in order to placate the peasantry and prevent them from being rendered landless.
