Not unsurprising to me, I have a contrarian view to most of the comments here about this. This project is supported by, among others, https://www.farmfoundation.org/about-farm-foundation/board-of-directors/ https://www.farmfoundation.org/about-farm-foundation/board-o... which includes US Bank, McDonalds, John Deere... among others who tend to invite derision here.
What this does is extract even cheaper labor from the masses. 9 in 10 people used to be farmers. Now it's 1 in 300. I find it hard to believe we have a problem with productivity in this industry.
The end game here is to further centralize the power structure into the corporations who already control most of the supply chain. Look at how they treat seed farmers around the world. They pay them pennies for seeds and then charge thousands of dollars for them on the global market.
Again... I don't see it. I see the trees, but where's the forest?
