Traditional farming won't hold up in the face of climate change. Can't just subsidize your way out of failed crops and climate change. I could make similar complaints about the noises and odors of traditional farms but that helps no one. Rural HATES change but change is a must.

We are using technology like drones to pinpoint the needs of the soil so we don't overuse fertilizers and use what is needed. So the fields have been producing better yields. My last crop of corn was a bumper yield. So traditional farming is modernizing to try to keep up with climate change. So it's doing just fine. Change does always happen but those greenhouse solve nothing.

I was wondering how this would affect farmers.
