Comment on I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings
cravl@slrpnk.net 1 day agoIt is strange that many, many farmers are simultaneously millionaires and dirt poor. Not that it’s a problem exclusive to farmers by any means, but ya know. Slim operating margins.

I grew up on a farm and it’s amazing that I always knew we were poor, but we always had our basic needs met. It probably contribited to me having an easy on-ramp to socialism once I moved to a city and saw the horrors of real poverty.
Relevant to the topic, we had a combine and I got to operate it to help my dad with harvesting. Crazy, very cool vehicle. It was always like magic to me.
