"Nobody Really Cares": The Rural Voter Problem

41. You could not be more wrong

Tomatoes and certain other types of produce lend themselves to Greenhouse production due to indeterminate production and vertical growth habits.

Nothing is cheaper and more efficient than growing cabbage in he ground. Same with most other types of produce. You would need a 1000 acre building to grow the same amount of cabbage as a 1000acre field.

And besides, by far the largest proportion of farmland in this country is devoted to row crops, mainly corn, wheat and soy beans. You are not growing them in greenhouse. And that hitech you mention is already here. My brother in law rides in a tractor. Literally, because the tractor drives itself. It figures out the most efficient route through the field and takes off with minimal input from the driver. Modern irrigation can even irrigated a field based on the soil type of the part of the field being watered.

Most of the people living in these rural areas are not farmers. They may have a few acres, but chances are that they work at the feed store or the Walmart. Their preachers have convinced them the live they live is the model life that their god wants everyone living and they vote for people they think will keep that life going.

They were fooled this time but their preachers will not allow them to think that way.
