I would like to second this. There are a large amount of comments on this site, just as one example, when anything ag is talked about that are just insanely uninformed. The assumption seems to be that farming is just good old boys doing what they've always done, instead of the massively data informed, extremely sophisticated business it is, even for family operations. I was a full-time farmer until after graduate school. The guy who rents the family farm now farms to the square foot and sometimes even at precision even tighter than that (applying chemicals sometimes is based on the 1/2 square foot)! And that is over the entire 7-10k acres he rents/owns in total. The amount and variety of data he uses is startling.
