The above is touted as some kind of achievement.
To me, there is something a bit sad about it.
Then we wonder why the public are disconnected from agriculture. We wonder why we work for hours alone with nobody to share problems and successes. We wonder why there is a shortage of new blood.

Not everybody wants to work on the land but undoubtedly many have been denied a rich and fulfilling experience. And that just isn't good in my opinion.
