I'd wager 95% of Americans don't have the work ethic needed to run a small farm.  The only way most people get that and the motivation to run one is from being raised on a small farm.

Statements like this will energize the northeast authoritarian types.
The ones that can't understand why food costs what it does and why their plumber charges $100+/hr.

But will turn almost everybody else against him.

Bloomberg's own statements are the best opposition to him. Going to be interesting to see how the media carries his water for him if the decision is made that he is the candidate.

Biden's misspeaks, Pete's cloudy past (cough CIA) as well as selling minorities and middle America on his preference, Bernie's age/health and communist past all pale in comparison to the unending stream of arrogant authoritarianism that flows out of Mike's piehole.

They have given up on trying to convert and subjugate "flyover country", hence the push for mass importation of replacement Americans.

Those are much more malleable and generationally are used to being lorded over by the elite, living in poor conditions and generally accepting their lot in life.

The guy is an absolute idiot asshole.  Not to mention that....

  1. Even small home gardens require a lot of care, attention, thought, planning, and analyzing.  You don't just "throw a seed in the hole and add water...."
  2. Commercial farming is more high-tech than ever.  Tractors with programmable Nav/GPS systems, drone surveillance and observation, programmable/computerized watering & feeding systems, IoT/Edge systems for soil analysis, chemical/pesticide R&D, and that's before any of the legal aspects, finance, marketing, shipping...etc
  3. Gardening & farming requires hard work, determination, self-motivation, and perseverance.  
Support your local farmers!  Support your local Farmer's Market!

True, but Obongo was brown and reasonably smooth. Bloomberg? No one, I mean NO ONE "likes" him. Only people voting against Trump would choose Bloomberg. His likability factor and leadership qualities are negative 7. He makes Hillary look warm and approachable.

I've lived and worked on our family farm my whole life and have been working full time for 10 years, if my dad and grandfather left tomorrow and I had to run the farm, I would fuck it all up. There's so many different things to be thinking about and doing all the time. You have to be obsessed with details to keep a farm running well and your equipment in working order. The amount of different things you have to know how to do is arguably more than any other profession, there's so many aspects to farming these days.

The classic class snob Socialist. Most of the ranchers I know around here have some Ag. related degree and actively pursue continuing edu. to keep current on the best Ag. practices. Arm to Farm, ATTRA, County Extension Office, USDA programs, AFGC Forage workshops, and a ton more resources are a vast wealth of knowledge to help make the USA the best food producing country in the world. If you are farming the way your grandpa did you are going under. Some derp for brains city slicker who thinks he knows what's best for ranchers and farmers is truly out of his element. Best thing he can do for Agriculture is to stay away from it.

He’s not so much a leftist as a tyrant surrounded by sycophants.  In his normal life he gets away with saying anything he wants to anyone and he has a coterie of paid employees to be his cheering section, so in his mind he’s always right because no one ever challenges or contradicts him.

South Africa is going to learn the same lesson. Since 1990 over half the white farmers are gone and food production is rapidly declining. Giving the farms to people who are clueless about Ag. practices and no work ethic is proving a national disaster yet the communists are excited. They are winning.

Okay, Mr. Bloomberg, here is a 24 row corn planter, and the 200 hp tractor that pulls it.  Please read the inch thick manual for the tractor and the three manuals for the planters.  Don't forget to change the oil, replace any filters, install any software updates to the tractor, planter, GPS, radar and camera systems.  Will you be planting regular corn or organic, what fertiliser will you use?  What corn variety?  What population?  What additives to the seed will you order.  Since the seed will costs hundreds of thousands of dollars will you get you own dealership or find a supplier who will deliver the seed as ordered, and on time.  Will that dealer back his product if something goes wrong.  Please program the GPS and planter software to adjust population for the soil test you had taken last fall.  Didn't do that?  Well you better do it now for all 5,000 acres.  Will you be sidedressing or broadcasting.  What herbicide will you use.  Are there herbicide resistant weeds in some fields?  if so, which ones and how what will you tell the sprayer.  Have you filed all the Federal paperwork where you swear your method of tilling/planting meets USDA requirements?  Did you convert a wetland last year?   Have you sold any corn for the 2020 crop?  Do you still have 2019 crop to sell?  Have you considered 2021 crop?  What is the local basis for corn in your area?  Are you going use options to manage risk?  What about crop insurance?  Which of your farms will go into ARC or PLC?   If ARC, which of the three sub choices will you pick?  Do you have your corn yield records up to date with your crop insurance company and with USDA?

Now for soybeans.  Will you rotate with corn or go all corn?  What about nematodes?  Fungi?  Are the 32 additives to the seed adequate for your needs?  Do you have to sign a contract, that says you cannot replant any of the soybean seed?  Remember they use satellites to spy on you for using their seed.
