America needs to encourage more young people to go to trade school/technical colleges for work like this. Great news, keep the manufacturing jobs coming back to Atlanta.

I agree. I think we will see a revival of this type of work here. We already are with rising prices of overseas production, but I think it has only begun. That and I think that the mainstream popularity of organic foods and the farm to table movement will work wonders with restoring our appreciation for farmers.

I actually think overseas workers are demanding higher pay, and the production cost of doing business cheaply overseas is not worth the investment anymore for US companies. Atlanta should continue to benefit greatly.
