Seeds of Conflict

@ farmers
They are exceedingly dumb. Breathtakingly, impressively, mystifyingly dumb (they're human, see above). What these people learned at "daddys knee" was folklore and it seems to have completely eradicated their ability to compete with the corporate players. The folks at the corporate farms are the people who have turned magic in the dirt into a science. Now personally, I'd like to see more farmers and less corporate farms - but that isn't going to happen until farmers can run their operations like the big boys - IOW, like they had any idea wtf they were doing.

To clarity I was suggesting that was to maximize earnings in trade-offs of grain plantings and meat raising. I also noted corporations were much better at it. This leaves open maximizing use of land which definitely falls to corporations.
