My uncle’s tractor costs $500K, is self driving, and can plant according to a plot made by the drone.

And the combine is even more high tech.

Brainless? Not really. Most of the dumb farmers are long gone. Low value added?

Go back to eating your twinkies and ranting about how you wish the confederats won.

The value added and the engineering and brain work came in making the tractor, not in growing soy.

The lion share of farmers do not own combines and .5 million buck tractors.
