    Yes, they are.

    No they aren’t. That’s just your arrogance and prejudice.

    You’re looking for education on some random website in a comment

    LOL. Rest assured I did not think you were capable of providing such an education.

    Did you know for example, that it’s increasingly common for farmers to not just have a degree in agronomy but also subjects like chemistry soil science, etc? It’s really a requirement if you want to work for any of the larger farming operations. Now my background is in tech, specifically software engineering. My partner has a PhD in biochemistry. A neighboring fruit guy has a PhD in biology and two other farmers I know have advanced degrees in ecology.

    But of course you know better and what would I know, I’m just a stupid ignorant farmer.

      You don’t get knowledge from standing the shadow of someone. I actually publish in agronomic journals with my PhD and I’ve been through all of your feelings a long time ago. I’ve taught to the farmers you’re picturing of as “knowledgeable”.

      Software or not, you should already be aware that those who practice and run a business do not have time to learn or experiment.

      And no, nobody could provide that kind of education on Lemmy.

          Go ask your friends for courses and books. Let me know when you’re ready to discuss papers on systems.

            Me and my stupid farming friends laugh hysterically at people like you, especially when we are discussing peer-reviewed studies in relation to our real-world experience and some one like you comes along, needing desperately to tell us how everything works. We like to say you know “everything” and yet nothing. It’s long been speculated that the arrogance comes from insecurity and that completely blinds you, closing your mind. One of the principal dangers of academia-itis absent real world experience. But I wonder how we would know… we’re just a buncha country bumpkins. Golly gee wilikers huh huh.

            Let me know when you’re ready to discuss papers on systems.

            I don’t think YOU are not. Maybe even afraid. But feel free to try.
