Industry Myths
Nothing bugs me more than when people refer to farmers as simple or dumb. As I've become involved in agriculture it's become an industry where only the smart ones survive - the people who have good business skills.
Agriculture has progressed to the point where it is incredibly technical and requires some very good business skills. The other myth is that we work long hours. I don't know if we work longer hours than most driven business people.
