Why are farmers looked on as low IQ?

Chit seems hard as fuk

- gotta get the season right based on produce
- gotta make sure the mfers don't get attacked by bugs/animals
- gotta make sure soil and shiet is in good shape
- gotta know how to operate all types of equipment

Chit seems more complicated than most office jobs.

Farmers are smart, most coasties don't understand them. Out here, they independently manage large farms almost single-handedly with the help of automated modern farming equipment. A lot of them are probably millionaires.

They made dipping a thing. They didn’t have free hands to use in order to smoke their tobacco products by pipe or rolled. So they started chewing it. Spit tobacco remains the goat way to get your tobacco on.

Farmers basically don't exist anymore. It's multi-billion dollar corporations using automated equipment to tend millions of acres, then buying Central American field slaves to wash the tractors.

People say that rural America is dying, but US agriculture is more productive than ever. It's just that all the land ownership got concentrated and all the jobs got automated away. A sign of things to come for the suburban email class, IMO.

Farming mega corps are also great at being welfare queens. They vaguely threaten the government to start fukkin with the food supply (namely by underproducing and artificially restricting supply), which is the #1 easiest way for politicians to lose power. Works like a charm.


"In 2021, the federal government provided farms with $28.5 billion in subsidies, or direct farm program payments. The Department of Agriculture is the primary federal agency that provides direct payments to farmers."

farmers that hold their livestock in close proximity to their crops/irrigation are low IQ.

perhaps not socializing
with others,sticking with the same
daily routine,having no strong social life
compared to cities makes them less interesting and perhaps
your mind stops being strong as those who live in cities.

but with smart phones being equally
spread,stupidity
shall be balanced.

that's not quite true, the farming is still done by independent farmers. Out here in Kansas ~90% farming operations are family-owned. Quit being so dramatic.

Where I live the farmers are some of the richest people in the area. They might not be book smart or educated but they are extremely real world smart.

90% of total farms, maybe. What percentage of acreage is family owned?

I don't know, why don't you look that up. I found my statistic from the KS department of agriculture site.

Farms are mostly automated now but they are still, for the most part, family-owned independent operations.

Knock yourself out. For curiosity's sake, i pulled a random county and went through their census. You might find that interesting.

The notion of farmers being low IQ is a holdover from the Russian revolution and marxist propaganda against kulaks, who were farmers who owned the land they farmed. The fact was, and still is, farming is one of the highest IQ occupations as doing it successfully requires a great degree of planning, foresight, and low time preference. This is why the bolsheviks targeted kulaks, as their intelligence and self sufficiency made them one of the greatest threats to the bolshevik revolution -- and also why independent farmers continue to be vilified to this day in favor of megacorporations in bed with the government.

This.

I used to work a job where I was in direct contact with many farms across the country

Some get swallowed up by bigger operators


But the majority of them are still family owned and operated

Going from knowing how to grow food, to knowing hydraulic systems as well as being their own vet tech for the most part.

They're actually probably some of the most well rounded people out there.

It's kinda funny how much "social" bs determines an IQ.

There are still a lot of family-owned farms in my area, but with each year the number of acres run by family farms decreases and the amount run by corporations goes up. Family farms aren't dead where I am, but they're dying. There used to be a lot of 160 acre farms but there are none of those anymore. Nobody can make a living off that. Small farms that people make a living off of are 1000 acres now. Anything less is a hobby farm. Cheap farmland is $10,000 per acre. Pretty tough business for a guy to get into without a lot of hel

ETA: There are smaller boutique farms out there. I know of famer's market type operations that grow and sell fresh produce directly to the public. Fruits (cherries, peaches, etc) aren't what I'm talking about either. I talking about wheat, corn, spuds, alfalfa, soybeans, etc.
