Seems Mikey "Napoleon Complex" Bloomberg thinks farmers are dumb. Compared, I suppose, to politicians.
Yeah... yer basic farmer (one who's doing it for a living, not a hobbyist) not only has to put seeds in the ground (at the right time, with the soil suitably prepared for the crop in question), and to maintain quite a range of equipment, but to manage a very complex business in the face of a daunting variety of uncertainties (weather, future demand, and factors I don't even know I don't know).
And, he has to live with the consequences of his decisions. Notably unlike a politician.
Have I mentioned that this year's Democrat rhetoric is none too far from calling for liquidation of the Kulaks? 'Cause assuming that "anybody could do that" is one of the prerequisites.
Update: So G*d made a Bloomberg.
