At some point or another if we want to have our current industrialised urbanised societies, food does have to be grown, but holy shit are farmers a reactionary block. Also, even if we do a soviet thing again, I would be against centralising farming to a huge extent because it introduces a bunch of vulnerabilities to food sovreignty (also, some projects would be rolled out very slowly, none of this replacing your entire agri-industry with a new thing that may or may not work). Unfortunately in WOrkers and Resources you don’t really have any options for doing interesting agri-cycles.

I’m with you 100%. My experience says that we of course need farms but we shouldn’t see farmers through rose tinted glasses.
