It appears former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is also an expert on farming. As he tell it, anyone can do it as you just dig a hole, put a seed in, add some dirty and water and BAM — corn grows.
Have a watch:
It won’t though, because the Democrat party is a bunch of whores, and Microtyrant is the richest john ever.
Bloomberg has spent $300 million and only has 4,700 actual votes.

That’s nearly $64,000 per vote.
Aside from stealing it, how does this man have any viable path to the nomination?
He is merely expressing the sentiments of what most people in the left and right coasts and Chicago think of those of us in flyover country. The arrogance is overwhelming.
Pretty much all chemical fertilizers these days use natural gas to provide the necessary energy for their synthesis. You need the petroleum stuff to fuel and lube the machinery. (Note...former farm boy, born and raised).
I was thinking of the raw material, but of course there's the energy factor in producing it. Bottom line: farming is energy-intensive.
“His dig hole, plant seed comments already told us everything he knows about farming.”
wellllll, he does know how to eat, and food comes from farms, so there’s that ...
Have to be careful knocking (or appearing to knock) both farmers and small town people. Lots of us living in Metropolitan areas have roots in small towns and farming. The smartest of my many uncles (and they were a successful group) were the farmers. The multi-level multi-tasking they do is beyond the imagining of a boy from New York like Mike.Those of us whose families came from the farm don’t like disrespecting our families.
