    So you don’t have any experience raising livestock or farming produce then. Noted.

    It’s funny to me that you keep harping on “credentials” without ever addressing the substance of my argument. LOL.

    But to your odd reply: I’ve done chickens, goats, sheep, and dairy cows but my main thing has always been veggies.

    The fact that you clearly do not know what “speciality crops” means tells me you are not very experienced or educated in ag, in general. It’s a very common, well-established and frequently used term that really anybody in the farming world should know. It means more or less anything that’s intended to be sold directly to people for direct consumption and not processed, ie that isn’t a commodity, which since you may not know, is crops like wheat, corn, soy beans that are refined before being sold to consumers.

    I think we’ve reached the point where you’ve demonstrated that your only rebuttals are “because I said so”, “I need to argue for reasons”, and “you suck” and that you simply do not have a good grasp of the fundamentals, hence your inability to make any point at all.

    So have a nice day and maybe read up on some ag topics before attempting to engage on the topic.

      Oh yes indeed. What an aggy you are. Do tell me more about these specialty crops I’ve not referred to at all. Or all your various farming you’ve done because of course there’s no money in specialized equipment or process.

        Ya know for me, in my life generally, I love being wrong. I’m perfectly secure in my person, my experience and my sense of self-worth, so being wrong about things - and to be clear that means in essence being ignorant of something - is a wonderful opportunity to learn. I truly relish it and am very quick, when presented with anything even resembling credible evidence, to consider it and change my view if it’s compelling enough.

        For example in this case, if instead of lobbing ad hominem attacks ad nauseam you had offered something substantive - even anecdotal - I might have learned that my view of this trivial topic is not universal and/or in other areas more people are wiling to sell chick(en)s to random people. It’s sad that didn’t happen and it’s kind of silly because anybody could have done it - just call some random farms or talk to farmers you know.

        Since you were unwilling or unable to do that you demonstrate not knowledge but insecurity, which really makes it hard to take anything you say seriously.
