>It'll give people jobs and the beasts won't have to suffer.
Sounds like a good ideal, take some of these people that are not 
performing worthwhile work and put them to work on the farm to replace 
mechanical labor.  I can just see how that would go over with the Crips.

>They do it in India, why not elsewhere?
Seems like they are manufacturing tractors and other farm machines in 
India now.

Of course you would be willing to put in the 10-12 hours a day on a farm. 
High heat, humidity, hard manual labor, no thank you I have done it and 
much prefer working my keyboard.

What percentage of the population would have to be working on the farm?  
How many more acres would have to be plowed under?
How do we reduce the population to the level that can be carried by the 
land?  Biological agents? Nuclear war?
