I don't see them. I am sort of thinking out loud. Bottom line is that the world is going to need huge amounts of food going forward and we can produce more food than anyone. So I am hoping we can change things so people working in that area are more middle class and less underpaid, overworked neo slaves. Maybe technology and unions can be used for the good of everyone. Coincidentally, my younger daughter just informed me last night she is not going to pursue her PHD in environmental science but change it to the science of agriculture with an emphasis on the chemistry. She is real big into organic farming and finding new ways to produce food responsibly and effectly and eats almost soley out of her garden. Her mate works as a plant guy/gardener, but was a herpetology major and he is going to do it with her. I was thinking, why should manufactuing pay more than agriculture? Too often we get used to one way of thinking and do not look at new ways of thinking. E.g. we have gotten used to using slave labor for our food and that is not ethical, IMO. <<"We can pull middle class jobs out of that if we think about it." We already have the most efficient ag on the planet. Because we farm with MACHINES and use chemical fertilizers on genetically modified plants. I see no jobs to replace manufacturing in ag. The trend is declining employment. Before too long, robots will do the work that's there now. Where do YOU see them?>>
