I guess ol Minnie Mouth Mike has never set foot in a 20 row planter that is all computer controlled and GPS positioned.

Made this post on another thread —

The way Bloomie speaks is typical of a rich, isolationist upper crust city boy who would get run over by a cow in the country.

In the early ‘80s I worked for the American Soybean Association and we worked with thousands of farmers all across the country. We also advocated for them in DC. I can tell you from first hand experience, the farmers were the FIRST to adopt computer technology. During this time a personal computer ran about $3K; the farmers used them for animal breeding programs, their crop oversight and of course, they were all LLCs, so it was used for bookkeeping and tax purposes. Most Farmers I know (in and outside my family) are college graduates.

Mini-Mike is such a fool —and if he were stranded on a desert island, pick the farmer and he’d get a computer geek as a bonus....

With geniuses like this in charge you can bet on future food shortages...

...and you can bet that only the perfect voters have enough to eat.

More convinced than ever that Bloomy ONLY contributed the funds to his big venture. I don’t care how many letters he has behind his name. Educated isn’t the same thing as smart and he just isn’t very smart.

I think most techies would starve before they learned how to make a living at farming. It would requires more than just reading “how to” stuff on YouTube and Google search. Besides techies don’t have the physical stamina for farming.

No kidding. This guy has no idea how high tech farming has become. He’s clueless.

If he was as smart as he apparently thinks he is, he would never had made such a comment.

If you are an American farmer, you DO work in tech. agricultural tech. You get to meld chemistry, biology, mechanical engineering, business, meteorology, etc., etc.

Gray matter? Like all of Bloomberg’s lying cheating H1Bs? Check the USCIS website, Bloomberg is a big user of foreign trash

What a fool. Someday mikey ought to take a look at the tools and equipment Farmers utilize every day, but that would require mikey to stop playing with toys in his sandbox.

Give me a break. It’s way harder to be a farmer than a tech worker.

My father, a product of the Great Depression, dropped out of school in the 6th grade to help support his family. In the following years, he produced six sons, learned surveying, learned algebra, read hundreds of books, learned carpentry, auto mechanics, and a host of other skills. He retired as a quality control manager at John Deere Harvester. I am a member of Mensa but confess my father’s intelligence far outstripped, and was more useful, than my own.

Mikie Bloomburg would probably benefit greatly from spending a few weekends with Mike Rowe. Probably wouldn’t make him a better president but at least he wouldn’t be as stupid.
