On October 19th Ann Coulter an American Conservative, media pundit, author, syndicated columnist, and lawyer made a statement on the Social Media platform Twitter.
Ann Tweeted:
“If farmers ran the world, we'd still be sweeping, instead of vacuuming, and washing our clothes in rivers, instead of washing machines.
Why should Americans be forced to subsidize this one industry's refusal to move into the 1900s?”
-Ann Coulter
Well… definitely Farmers are not dumb, The development and adoption of new technologies and crop varieties is the primary reason why crop yields have increased manyfold over the past century.
In this Episode we discuss about Framing Subsidies and how Farmers now use automated harvesters, drones, autonomous tractors, seeding, and weeding to transform how they cultivate their crops. The technology takes care of menial and recurring tasks, allowing them to focus on more critical functions. Farmers apply Information and data technologies to optimize complex farming systems.
So, NO Ann Coulter! Farmers are not dumb and don’t live In the 19th Century.
