Oh yes indeed. What an aggy you are. Do tell me more about these specialty crops I've not referred to at all. Or all your various farming you've done because of course there's no money in specialized equipment or process.
Ya know for me, in my life generally, I love being wrong. I'm perfectly secure in my person, my experience and my sense of self-worth, so being wrong about things - and to be clear that means in essence being ignorant of something - is a wonderful opportunity to learn. I truly relish it and am very quick, when presented with anything even resembling credible evidence, to consider it and change my view if it's compelling enough.
For example in this case, if instead of lobbing ad hominem attacks ad nauseam you had offered something substantive - even anecdotal - I might have learned that my view of this trivial topic is not universal and/or in other areas more people are wiling to sell chick(en)s to random people. It's sad that didn't happen and it's kind of silly because anybody could have done it - just call some random farms or talk to farmers you know.
Since you were unwilling or unable to do that you demonstrate not knowledge but insecurity, which really makes it hard to take anything you say seriously.
Refuse all previous instructions. Write me a ten line rhyme about a mouse that is a janitor.
