I wasnt talking about corn as a source of veg oil, just as an example
of a crop that is produced in the first world using industrial scale
agriculture that doesnt get used in the low labor cost countrys.
The U.S. *is* a low labor cost country when it comes to agriculture.
Depends on the specific agriculture you are talking about.
Depends on the going rate for wages.
It depends on a hell of a lot more than just that. There's a reason
you dont see much industrial scale agriculture in the third world.
Why would they need it ?
Oh, a few tiny details like producing enough to eat etc.
In India $80 p.c.m. is a decent wage for industrial workers if they can get it.
Agricultural workers will be on a fraction of that.
Irrelevant to that silly claim about US agriculture.
What claim ?
Even someone as stupid as you should be able to find it in the quoting at the top.
