Both are if their farming. If it's a keyboard is doing the work then neither are. Define farming you say, well let me put it this way, you have one of those Lely robots taking care of the foddering, the parlour is automated and fair enough a contractor does the silage but you aren't involved in that so that doesn't count. To be a farmer kinda means your farming and that to me means walking through your livestock, operating machinery, taking soil samples, getting your hands dirty in other words.Is a man with 600 cows or 3000 pigs a farmer?
We're not going to agree on this topic but I quiet like what I do for a living and I would hate to think that an industry thats almost as old as humanity will one day not require humans to work in. Perhaps I've a rather simplistic view of it.
