Why Is It That People Equate Manual Labor/farming With Low Intelligence?
why is it that people equate manual labor/farming with low intelligence?
do you understand how hard it is to run a farm/ranch? all the different variables you have to account for, all the knowledge you have to have– i promise you, if i put an ivy league academic in front of a 200 lbs ewe and said “now shear her” they wouldn’t be able to do it. not to mention all the business and economics of running a successful commercial farm, much less a little family/hobby farm.
if i told a business CEO to milk a fucking cow he probably couldn’t do it, by hand or machine. or run a combine harvester, or plant sugarcane, or muck a horse stall, hell he probably couldn’t even fix a simple fence break.
just because something uses knowledge of a different type doesn’t mean it doesn’t use knowledge. knowing how much different cattle breeds sell for, when and what to feed your ewes to maximize your lamb crop, how to birth livestock, what crops to plant when, how much water a crop needs, how to tell what minerals/diet deficiencies are causing whatever health problem your livestock are having (and how to recognize an unhealthy animal and what’s wrong before you call the vet). how much to sell your crop for, how to shoe a horse, drive a baler, how to store your hay bales. knowing the different kinds of hay and when to feed it, how to tack up a horse or rope cattle without hurting them, how to castrate your livestock, herd cattle, prevent hoof rot, the list goes on and on–
all of these things require in-depth, nuanced knowledge that is NO LESS VALUABLE than science, business, literature, philosophical, whatever disciplines.
and without that knowledge, YOU’D be the one starving. so stop assuming that farmers are all dumb, low-class folks with empty heads
