If you have a question about your car 🚗, you ask a mechanic🔧.
If you have a question about your health🤧, you ask a doctor.
If you have a question about your dog's🐶 health, you ask a veterinarian.
I really hope if you have a question about agriculture🐄🌾 you will not a celebrity, activist, or an influencer who has never set foot on a farm.
Farmers & agriculturalists are the outstanding experts in their fields🌾.
Farmers are not dirty, lazy, or stupid. We are the experts of our highly complex fields. Farming is much more complicated than just throwing seeds🌾 on the ground + weather🌦 = food🥖 or just throwing cows🐄 outside on grass = milk🥛.
Farmers have to be knowledgeable in animal care, animal nutrition, agronomy, plant science, food safety, business management, finances, marketing, mechanics, etc.
I would also like to point out that many of us have years of experience and/or degrees in our fields. I have a Bachelors of Science in Animal Science & an Associates in Dairy Production & Management. I'm currently working on my Masters in Applied Dairy Cattle Genetics. Also I've worked with dairy cattle on my family's farm since I was a little kid. Farming is how you get 15+ years of experience at 22 years old.😆
My dad has a Bachelors & my mom has a Masters in agriculture related fields plus many (I probably shouldn't say how many😂) years of experience working & managing our farm & growing up on their families' farms.
Remember if you have a question about agriculture go right to the root and ask a farmer!
