Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 7 months agoI don’t know why you’re assuming small farms need to be worked with medieval technology—that’s not what I’m saying at all. What I am saying is that 5 acre farms are far smaller than typical for modern agribusiness, and the differences in management are enormous. And I’ve actually worked on a farm that was 8 acres and we did much (though not all) of the labor by hand.
The average US farm is just under 500 acres. It’s totally different to grow food on that scale.

You don’t know why Industrialized farming is Industrialized? Are you for real, right now?

I have no idea how this comment relates to what I was saying or what you are trying to communicate. I believe I do understand why industrialized farming is industrialized. Do you?

Industrialized farming is industrialized by definition as it involves the use of Machinery and Automation such as large vehicles. I’m sitting here in awe and disbelief at how stupid a person could be as to lecture others on this topic while not knowing why “[I’m] assuming small farms need to be worked with medieval technology” to be considered outside of the scope of Industrialized.

I could educate you but I lack the patience to deal with your consistently insulting, arrogant, and deep misunderstandings of this topic and the discussion we’re having. Please just read this conversation again and think twice before chiming in with no understanding of the topic at hand next time.
