Comment Misleading, farmers are not dumb hicks (Score 1) 194

I have two uncles who are farmers- both earned agricultural degrees at Cornell and both of them were one of the first business people I knew that incorporated computers in their livelihood. They cows wore radio tags and had automated systems to control how much the cows were fed and tracked milk production in addition to a variety of other things that are a part of farming. This was in the 80's.
It is hard for me to imagine there are many successful farmers left that aren't technologically savvy.

Comment I don't think so (Score 1) 700

I had two cousins that were home schooled until high school where they graduated 1st and 2nd in their class. My aunt actually was a certified teacher- I think this is important. If you have misgivings about you wife's motivation and she really hasn't shown an interest in education I really think it would be a mistake.
I have 'home schooled' my kids in the summer and found that creating lesson plans and going over their assignments after work was exhausting. It is a huge commitment.
