We used a lot of fuel keeping weeds down when I was a kid on the farm.
Corn and beans started with running a rotary hoe over the field when the plants were about 2-3" high, then digging weeds out with a cultivator at 6 inches tall, then another pass with the cultivator when they were a foot tall. On our small farm we planted and cultivated two rows at a time, so lots of passes across the field.
Burning all that gas and diesel was too good for the environment either.
