Most of the labor is mechanical. The human remainder is largely illegal. IDK if you’d call them hicks, but either way it doesn’t matter much to me, lol. I prefer to pay my labor rather than thanking them.
Something tells me that ag workers would prefer being paid to any nonsensical meanderings about the contributions of southern states. It would be ideal if every state pulled its own weight on producing food and paying for the work - but not all fields are created equal, so.. meh.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So the next time some smart ass yankee makes fun of us so called "hicks", stick that in your pipe and smoke it. You eat b/c of our farms, California is only responsible for 3% of farming.
I’ve never called a Texan a hick in my life, and would never refer to all Texans as such if I had.
SOME I’ve referred to as rednecks or inbred hillbillies, though.
Never hicks

The OP is wrong about the 3% from California. It's actually 13%, and a lot of what is grown there is almost the only state it is grown in. So shut up and go away.

Lol, gee, I wonder who this could be? You’re terrible at this, Emil.

I live on a farm in the north. And I'm not a hick. I'm an introverted intellectual type.
Some farmers are hicks. Some aren't. Your posts seem a little pointless. Are you a teenager?

No, he’s a 30 something year old racist troll who probably lives in his mom’s basement.

You should thank Oregon and California for the tech you are using to write this post. The silicon forest in Oregon and silicon valley in California are responsible for most of the electronics design on this planet! I couldn't find the stats, and largely don't care.
You could also just realize that the world economy has many sectors that all contribute to the standard of living we have become accustomed to, so whatever.

I also grew up on a farm in the north. Ok, it was Northern Ireland, but still.

I grew up in Iowa...sure was a lot of farms around there. Pretty sure there still are.
Good grief...you aren't even trying are you?
