Vertical farming America!
Yes you could. But children at play, do not die. but it seems they might have been run over by the lawnmower?
"In the United States, 97 percent of all farms and ranches are family owned. Those farms and ranches are owned by individuals, family partnerships or family corporations. Just 3 percent are non-family owned corporations."
"helping " the labor shortage…..
This helps one guy make money by NOT hiring workers.
Who wrote this article? A.I.?
Pay workers enough to live.
Corporate Expansion is NOT limitless.
Hello 😻💕,Help me please ,
Merry Christmas And Happy New Year 2023.
You can't pick strawberries with automation, so I'm not sure what labor shortage you are talking about, unless you want high skilled machine operators to become strawberry pickers for 1/100 the pay.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The biggest reason young people are not getting into farming is young people can’t afford to buy the land, young people can’t even afford a house or an apartment never mind a farm and all the equipment
Helping more folks become dead when yet more jobs are phased out yet we are told *we are the lazy bums*. Somehow I do not see this as helping us down here but hey as a reporter you are fine for now, until they automate you amid the growing shortage 🙂
A real story would have two different opinions
Putting more people out of work and making big ag even bigger is called "helping the labor shortage" by corporate state media.
There isn't a god damned labor shortage! There are plenty of people willing to work and work hard too! We are just sick or being worked to the bone for someone else's profit and dreams and then being laid off at the earliest sign of inconvienence for our overlords and their investors.
Sounds more like Silicon Valley wants to take jobs away from the poor.
incoming skynet from terminator LOL
What they really mean is that the new farm tech will make it even easier for Big Business to acquire the last few private farm holdouts because they won't be able to afford it. They've been using that technique for a very long time.
Farmland price is crazy
The US retail stores generate about 16 billion pounds of food waste every year, thanks to the free market economy. The amount of energy and resources used to produce the wasted food has been making climate change very difficult to suppress
IROBOT THIS IS THE END AHHHHH!
I just wanted to comment something wild bc early lol.
