<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: skinney</div><div class="ubbcode-body">there is no "better than thou" in this industry... FACT is, technology changes, it advances, and with out it, I would still be who I am and DO what I do, plowing fields growing corn, putting up hay for 500hd of cattle, sure maybe without GreenStar, autotrack, or monitoring my irrigation progress with my cell phone, but don't try n downplay my words or what I do, by trying to make it sound like we wouldn't be what or who we are, because a little labrat is making it better or easier for us... the only thing they are making it easier for, is for YOU to get more food, by increasing our yield with GMO's... trust me, YOU and the world need em much more than we... like I said, I DON'T need autotrack, take away ALL the GMO's, I don't need to feed my cattle mineral that prevents horn flies from breeding, I can get by without all of that... can you?</div></div>

My dad has said it time and again, we've spent years just scraping by, running what we had until it was too broke to fix. All this technology is nice, but if something happens and none of this stuff works anymore (say an EMP), we'll revert back to the ways of old and persevere.
