Farmer: Independent entrepreneur or Big Ag employee?

And blind employee at that. Is there any job out there that has so many long term uncertainties about the cost of seed, fertilizer, pesticide, feed as well as a market price of their production totally unrelated to the production cost?

And the biggest uncertainty of all, weather, does not really make farming conductive to successful business planning, yet year after year farmers deliver the crops and animal products which, regardless of what courts have recently said about the right to the Internet service, are still the real fundamental and essential needs of the human being. So maybe farmers should be regarded the best managers there is, considering the constraints and uncertainties they deal with.

Well, perhaps I exaggerated, not everything is uncertain, we know for sure that prices of intrants are ever rising...  ;)
