government subsidies are big part of that cost savings.

If it’s such a gravy train come get yourself some, then. We’re in the middle of the worst ag downturn since the 80’s, people selling land and equipment just to stay afloat, but by all means.

Honestly, these people asking to get rid of roundup, insecticides, and GMO’s would be the first ones to then bitch that food and clothing prices were too high. Do you know how much of the typical family’s budget was spent on food/clothing a hundred years ago? Nearly 60%. Now it’s less than 20%.

Is that what you want to return to? Because you’re not going to have money for computers or iPhones to bitch on if that’s where we return.

We also won’t have as healthy a soil, as removal of these advancements will force us to return to high tillage and traffic practices which destroy soils and promote erosion. Fantastic.
