> so few Americans are familiar with the actual work behind jobs in the agricultural sector or related ones, I would argue that for many Americans the reality of this type of work is almost indistinguishable from fables or myth in their psychological context, due to lack of exposure. The lack of exposure isn’t accidental. Romanticizing farming doesn’t extend to romanticizing farmers. It’s not like you couldn’t go to a county fair, take a stroll around and ask yourself what this thing is all about. Or, actually talk with the farmer at your farmer’s market. Keeping the people at arm’s length is key to maintaining the romantic idea of farming as something to be escaped to rather than a difficult and sometimes dangerous job. Even some reading about silo safety would be edifying.
