This guys simplistic approach to agriculture is similar to Pol Pot’s, where the elites of that mob just gave city people some hand tools and were told to go out into the jungle and raise rice. Sadly, this approach fits with the Green New Deal where manual labor will have to replace all that hi tech diesel powered equipment that feeds the world.
These people are such mindless wonders. People that will be actually voting for this crap have no idea how efficient modern agriculture is and what their vote will do to harm their own well being.
Think Rhodesia that produced more food than the country could consume, by the time the lefties got done they were starving.
The strangest thing is he is from NY, which has a LOT of farming. He never ventured far north of NYC, I guess - or he knows and just has a general contempt for manual labor (as well as ignorance of the role technology plays in modern farming).
