(761 posts)but what good does it do me to rag on people and lose friends? As fruitless as it can be, why not try to make salient, topical points to these folks, and see what happens? I'm at the beginning of hopefully a 30 year career in farming, in an area as sparsely populated as they come, so you take your friends as they are, warts, misguided opinions and all.
The point is, yes, most can't be changed, but I do sense among the reasonable 1/3 an interest in changing how agriculture does its business, to make it more sustainable. Better, IMO, to talk to those folks than to just be sanctimonious about my own right-ness. Also, no hate radio or fox for me, make no mistake! Despite my location and profession, I'm right in line with the opinions of the mainstream on this site.
