Interesting. He mentions the desire of many people to return agriculture to the era of the small “family-owned” farm. They think this is more sustainable. It isn’t. Not from a financial standpoint as the author of this article points out and not from an environmental standpoint either.
Actually, 98% of farms, large and small, are already family owned. But the preponderance of family-owned farms is relatively recent. Prior to the middle part of the 20th century most farmland was leased by the farmer from a landowner who was not only paid rent, but also took a share of the profits from whatever crops the land yielded. Very few farmers owned their own land. They lived and died in poverty. Returning to the innocent and wholesome farming practices of yesteryear would mean creating a giant underclass of impoverished sharecroppers and tenant farmers.
If Higbee has a 5th consecutive 100 yd game he will be the 1st TE to ever do that in NFL history.
Wow, Higbee has a chance to become the Chris Massey of TEs.
Speaking of Chris Massey, I think it’s a travesty that the NFL refuses to recognize the “yards long-snapped” statistic. He long-snapped for over 100 yds in 27 consecutive games but this accomplishment goes unheralded because of league prejudice against the snapping arts.
