As a city dweller who is fond of "eating food" from time to time, I'm happy there are people out there trying to figure out better, more sustainable ways of producing it.
I don't think all of those are going to be pretty or quaint, or look like the family farm of my mind's eye.

- bluedino 7y agoThe corn fields here in Michigan are the shortest I have ever seen. We had a drought this summer but our spring had way too much precipitation. So amny crops were basically ruined by floods. Corn is in short supply. The grocery stores have it for 2 ears for a dollar, and it's very poor quality. It's usually so cheap you can hardly give sweet corn away. The fields have huge spots where nothing grew.
