"This week, video re-emerged in which Michael Bloomberg said farmers didn't have enough gray matter to work in the tech industry. In response, a farmer in Eastern Washington issued a challenge to Bloomberg: come to my farm and show me how easy it is.
"Alison Viebrock-Steveson has a Facebook page called Blessed Farmgirl, USA. In response to the Bloomberg video, she issued the following response: "But rather than take offense over your comments, I’d like to offer a simple invitation- please come show me how simple farming is because evidently I have way over complicated this whole thing." The statement accompanied a photo of Viebrock-Steveson pointing to a sticker in the cab of her tractor that says "No Farms No Food."
"Bloomberg's full statement, during a talk at the Distinguished Speakers Series at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School:
The agrarian society lasted 3,000 years and we could teach processes. I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer. It's a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn. You could learn that. . . .More here and a hat tip to Jeff Reynolds at Conservative Bloggers on Facebook
