    But they’re hardly ignorant of farming, and they talk among themselves. Do you think they don’t have internet?! Hell, an AG class was where I finally under how the quadratic equation can be applied.

      Lol, yes U.S. farmers can be highly ignorant of farming. The shit I have seen over the years. To be fair i have run into ignorant farmers all over the world. Most of the time it’s due to available technology and information. However the Midwest and Prairie Provinces are something special, the term “willful ignorance” applies more frequently.

      Also Deere in some regions also have a local monopoly with no competition close due the the before mentioned cult following. The farmers in those regions are mostly ignorant of the other equipment manufacturers.
