[QUOTE="Duane Foster, post: 1023440, member: 70985"] Anyone who thinks all technology and innovation comes from the cities has obviously never spent any time around farmers. Most of them can do a lot more with a lot less than city people. I saw a program on NOVA a few years ago about the quick grow and innovation in the development of jets and the aeronautics industry following WWII. It said the fast development of jet planes and then the space program was due almost entirely to the farmers who joined the Air Force in WWII and stayed in after the war. The scientists had already decided supersonic and space flight were impossible. Nobody told that to the farmers-turned-engineers and they made it happen. Knowing farmers the way I do, they would have put extra effort into making it happen if someone told them it was impossible. [/QUOTE]
