    Farmers are antiquated and obsolete.

    Robot farmers have successfully planted and harvested barley by themselves!

      The government could forecast it like our weather..... I know how that would go for our area. Interesting to say the least.

        bucket,

        How about Commodity Processors, maybe Graincos?

        Farmers are just that whiney, bitchy, inconvenient step, in the process of selling food to consumers.

          This all goes to the argument ,what are humans good for? How will people pay for goods machines produce if they do not have jobs? Will money be irrelevant? Are we going to a Star Trek world or extinction?

            Someone willing to take the risk will never be obsolete. Labor is always replaceable by tech.

              Things/technology moves pretty fast these days....easy to get left behind. I'm almost at the age I don't care....
