Good point. We should smash the farm equipment industry to restore the farm labor sector to its former dominant weight in the economy. ;-)

<<Just think how many farm labor jobs have been lost over the last 300 years.>>

I see Cat has a new combine out that will do 4,600 bushels of corn an hour, that's about 25 acres worth. Of course it requires 3 semi drivers to haul it all to the grain elevator. Platform plus 2 heads will only set you back about $500,000.
