Indeed, farming can be as complex as one wishes but also needn't be.

Most IT or coding degrees do require sophisticated thinking and mental cognizance.

Farming is however far more physically demanding, and has a good mix of mental and physical execution.

When the zombie apocalypse hits I would rather live next to the farmer. At least I could find a job keeping all his shit running.

When I read the piece at the link you posted I immediately had thoughts of @Momorider growing pot plants.

That isn't exactly what he said, it started with a discussion about 300 years of intellectual growth.

There are many more just like this from Mini Mike. The question is, will Bernie jump on these and use them against him. 

Does Bernie have a spine or not.

Farming can be complex.  It doesn't have to be.

Just look at the farmer backlash against John Deere for complex tractor repair and maintenance.  Used 50/55/60 FWD tractors are high dollar bringers even with poor prices for crops.

Bloomberg was making a point. And a very good point at that.

He did it poorly mixing old farming style with his current ability to teach that style present time, and his point was very poor actually.

Trying to pit one class of work against another via a single trait isn't very intelligent.

This is the republicans attempting to twist what he was implying into something he wasn’t. Nothing more. He was making a very good point about information transfer and the skills needed. 
 

Then there’s the ridiculous comment that Bloomberg believes food comes from supermarkets. How about the fact that large farming operations wouldn’t be able to survive without the skills sets of the people he’s talking about. The ones that allow food to get to supermarkets through a massively complex method of information transfer.
