I was being slightly facetious when I suggested you'd be the last farmer standing. Of course you won't be the last farmer standing. Most farmers are slowly coming around to the fact that their actions affect future generations of crop growth and are making changes. You will not be the last farmer standing. Sure, you've gotta put in time, effort and even money to make it go, but overall it's not as expensive as you're led to believe. I do this every day, this is the life I live. Sure it has its problems to negotiate and master, but it's doable. I know this, because I do it.
- chicob 9y agoI was not referring to myself or you, but to the hypothetical farmer taking actions only in his self interest. >I know this, because I do it. I didn't want to imply that there was no solution for this problem. I only stated, from my own perspective as a farmer, how hard it is.
- balabaster 9y agoI get your point. I did point out in my original post though that I was being deliberately facetious to make my point ;) Thanks for participating in the conversation though, it's an important conversation that I feel more people should be having and helping to find solutions for, because it's not a simple problem to solve and many hands make light work.
