It's hard to support the idea of inefficient farming just out of pure nostalgia but I think there's something else lost when these small family farms die out. I imagine large commercial farms aren't going to experiment as much or adapt to changing conditions.
- SoftTalker 3y agoThey aren't going to take any chances on growing unusual crops, perhaps. But big farm operations are constantly experimenting to improve yields and reduce expenses.
- zwieback 3y agoYes, definitely. Working on a mature product in a big corporation I'm very familiar with the concept of continuous optimization and it can actually be quite interesting. That's how I see the division: small companies invent and experiment, large ones scale and optimize, both are critical.
