    And not even smart. Farming today is sonething you have to train at and want / need to do. Grab 100 people that have never farmed before and set them loose in a field to find out how quickly crops burn.

      What are you on about? I’ve done potato truck driving for a season when I was depressed and needed something else to do for a while. There’s a lot of low/no skill work on farms that people can do. With just a few people who know what they’re doing (and I definitely wasn’t in that camp), the crops aren’t going to be burning in the field. I don’t think anyone is advocating grabbing people, plopping them in a field and saying “here, farm this”.
