What problems does Mr. Jones have in Animal Farm?

Mr. Jones' excessive drinking causes many of the problems
that occur on Manor Farm. Even the animals agreed that he was once a capable farmer, but
a lost lawsuit had been the stimulus for him to drink all the more. Jones would lay
about the house while his paid workers were idle and dishonest. Weeds took over the
fields, hedges went untrimmed, buildings needed repair and, most importantly, the
animals were underfed. Meanwhile, Old Major, Mr. Jones' prize Middle White boar, has a
dream which he shares with the rest of the animals. In his dream, man has vanished and
animals rule the world. Old Major suggests that the animals take over the farm and rule
it in a way that Mr. Jones has failed to do.

One
Midsummer's Eve, Jones went into town to get drunk and did not return till the next day.
Although the cows were milked, the animals again went unfed. So, the animals broke down
their stalls and helped themselves to their feed bins. When Jones and his men whipped
the animals for this, the revolt of the animals began.
