I predict a Florida "brain drain". Based on my colleagues.

99. I 100% agree with you

When my spouse was alive and we were actively farming organic for a profit, we were constantly reading and studying about plants and organic methods. There is just so much to know. Each plant requires it's own equipment, methods, protections, disease control and harvest processes. Each local has their own heat, water needs, seasons, frost protection, disease controls. So, you got to be careful about educational information describing growing in just their specific area like the northeast or northwest.

I guess if you only grew one thing in huge quantities and used only chemical methods, then it would require less studying, reading and testing.

We had one field dedicated to testing out new cultivars. My spouse called it our test lab. It was like a giant experiment every day.

Then there is marketing and finding sources to sell your produce at that has not been taken over by a corporation. We had to be always one step ahead of the huge corporation so as not to compete with them.
