@chjara @epsi I mean I do know farmers sure. Not like the big industrial kind but also not the small organic farmer variety.
I understand that. You need quite the big plot of land and expensive machinery to grow enough shit to be able to make good money for yourself. Though the farmers I know worked themselves a lot on the field and stables as well. And their kids also.
But I am also aware how exploitative the industry is to harvest workers in all. Like doing everything to dump the costs for them like begging the german government to not apply minimum wage to these workers and also not have them be in the social security system (which costs the farmer money since he has to pay some of it)
But man these farmers sure got a lever to pull with politics. Their lobby is insane. Though one of these people is also heading germanys agricultural ministary so things get easier to them.
But yeah I guess the "but food will get more expensive" works very well...
Even for stuff that does not really make the farmers too much work when talking compliance...
