No, it’s not “dumb”.
but next time you shove a forkful of food in your mouth, you might want to think about the sacrifices some (not all) farmers make for us to have such abundant, affordable food. For example, compare it to post Covid it to lumber & steel prices. Farmers are not getting rich or being overly opportunistic post Covid.
Whats our choice? Farmers quit farming because it doesn’t pay much, within one week, there’s civil unrest like BLM and antifa could never imagine. Lol
Anyway, Farming gets in your blood like no other vocation.
Although I make inferences & jokes that it doesn’t pay much money (and it doesn’t), it makes enough to keep going. You have to spend some time walking a mile in a farmers shoes to appreciate the time & effort for the relatively low pay.
Also, we do north of 100k in mowing per year and probably another 1/4-1/2 mil in construction and property maintenance, so it all goes in 1 pile of gross income.
I had to diversify to stay in it. I’m glad I did because it is a very interesting and satisfying way to make a living.
