Rest assured, farmers in general are not actually lacking in imagination or knowledge.
Yes, they are.
Absolutely, please regale us with your outstanding wisdom and intelligence. Do tell us how we can “move organic matter from freshly dead to soil”. I’m not sure what that means but perhaps you can educate us.
This exactly what I mean. You’re looking for education on some random website in a comment when you should be taking years of education on chemistry, biochemistry, soil sciences, biology, microbiology, ecology and many more.
No they aren’t. That’s just your arrogance and prejudice.

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.
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.
Oh wait, you don’t actually have a point to make, do you? I mean, beyond “farmer stoopid me so much better”. Is that what you publish? Who reads that except other people who like to say “farmer stoopid” and hear themselves talk at dinner parties.
I am all for research and all for science, even in the very abstract. I make practical use of it constantly. But never mistake the reality of it - you are nothing without farmers.
Yes, they are.

"Well actshuaaally…
Hurburdur dur durrrr"
Go ask your friends for courses and books. Let me know when you’re ready to discuss papers on systems.

No you.

You don’t even understand how academia and science works. I’m sorry for your PhD holding friend.
