Yup. My extended family is farmers. They got out of livestock decades ago because there was no profit at the scale they were willing to do it in and animals smell terrible at (abusive) scale. Corn and soybeans, they had a contract with a major company for sweetcorn last I heard.
I love the idea of an air conditioned tractor cab that’s mostly run by GPS and lets me sit around and listen to podcasts while babysitting the tractor, but I don’t want to live in Bumfuck Iowa so I didn’t go into farming.
And there’s other babysitting-type jobs out there, if that’s what you want. Actually that’s one sector poised to grow a lot do to AI, because AI needs hella babysitting.
