I tried to read the original source article, and I got this website message there:

I would like to have seen what the airhead was suggesting that farmers/farming now do, but, no, thanks, not opening myself up to that website’s advertising.
And who in their right mind would link ESG with DEI after all the abominable DEI news of late? The Harvard president was but one of innumerable examples of the destructive nature of that hiring practice -- i.e., employment disaster -- and that was in the national news repeatedly.
Back in December when I wrote my American Thinker blog about “today’s CR pandemic,” I hadn’t thought about that “grotesque, anatomically disfiguring disease” attacking individuals in American agriculture, but that was an obvious oversight. Clearly, they too can be blinded by cranial rectitus, thus “fail to ever see the light.”
Nevertheless, it’s disappointing to find the CR affliction in agriculture. Unquestionably, common sense has been lost along the way, but maybe that began when “industry” got tacked on after “agriculture.” The small family farms went by the wayside long ago and, sadly, intelligence disappeared with them.
Hopefully, hard work is still part of American agriculture, but air-conditioned cabs on tractors with stereo systems makes that questionable. And I can’t remember the last time I saw anyone slinging bales of hay or straw when we’ve been driving in the country. Stacking bales on wagons all day wasn’t fun, so I guess progress helped in that regard.
However, losing common sense in agriculture is certainly not progress. And it might help explain the ongoing decline of rural America. Wake up, folks! Plow the woke nonsense under and grow common sense again. Agriculture’s alarm is blaring!
American Thinker is a long time conservative publication. My parents had a print subscription when I was a teen. It is a trustworthy website. It’s ads have never frozen up my phone like the New York Post or Daily Mail does.
