There were really good times, there were really bad times. Most of the time it was alright. Some things could have been better, but some things could have been a lot worse. Hard to rate

His custom crop boosted yields at a time when the temperature was predictable, and the crop could thrive in the easy narrow conditions they were designed for.

Unfortunately with climate change, the hardier seeds which produce lower yields but can weather more turbulent climates are harder to find because they were pushed out of production by the popularity of his invention.
