Oh please. Anyone can scale their little garden in their back yard with a bigger garden and equipment. Lets not pretend farming is brain surgery. Of course if it isn't an organic farm and they are spraying everything under the sun to make as much money as they can it adds science, but farmers just do what the big wig science people tell them to do. Just like a teacher tells a little kid.
This isn't putting down a farmer, because they work hard and hard work is more important than anything, but Bloomberg was correct.

if you're so dim that you think modern American agriculture involves nothing more than popping some seeds in the ground, there's no point in even having a discussion.
At the end of the day, yes. Planting some seeds in the ground is what is done. Farming of all kinds is pretty easy. Heck I have an asparagus patch that comes up every year. Just feed it and have food.
A 5 year old can farm and they no doubt do in some parts of the world. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Please explain the normal crop cycle for say, a wheat farmer. Just one year will do. This should be good.
Um, I see farms all over the place around here. They throw a seed in the ground and boom, corn in a bit of time. Farming isn't rocket science. Of course they can hire some scientist for their GMO crap and whatever else they are going to do. Spray everything with Roundup and such, but at the end of the day, farmering easn't hard. A child can do it.
the fact that you see a lot of farms means it's so easy a child could do it.
He's an "elitist prick," but Trump's what? Just a regular workin' Joe who deeply empathizes with his struggling peers? LOL.
Psst...ALL American politicians are "elitist pricks." There's no other kind. With the vast amounts of money required to campaign, there could be no other kind.
True that. ALSO - they cut off the first part of his speech about the farmers.

and we can handily extrapolate your experience with a backyard perennial asparagus crop that doesn't even need re-seeding to a 1500-acre rotating soybean/maize operation overwintered with canola, right? no real difference
He's throwing away hundreds millions of dollars into an election campaign he can't win and can't even get the party nomination for. Just imagine how many homeless and poverty stricken people he could help with that money. Is he that out of touch or just heartless?

Meh -- some of the politicians at least have had the life experience of a life without gold toilets....lol.
I'm interested to see Bloomberg's debate performance tomorrow. I'm not sure how I feel about him. He says stupid things. But they all do.
Have to say -- in a process that has been going on forever, this Bloomberg addition adds a little 'new' to something old. Seriously -- could we stomach more debates where we hear the same policy discussions.
(Granted I have friends that said they didn't watch the early debates -- too far in advance, too many people -- so they are watching now.......and would watch Bloomberg or no Bloomberg).
Bloomberg’s point at Oxford University was that the world evolved from mostly agriculture based to the Industrial Age to the Information Age.
It has been projected 800 million global workers will lose their jobs in the next decade- replaced by robotic automation. Any rule based, repeatable function has been and will continue to be vulnerable.
You're avoiding the simplistic and uneducated way he analyzed what went into the stages of that evolution. He's a business info storer and distributor. Nothing more.
