Musings on the inability of sheep to industrialize
So I was reading this in my Economic geography textbook today while I was studying,
"Rural landscapes have also been affected as the logic of industrial production and centralization has been applied to agriculture. In northwestern Europe, for example, field systems have been rationalized, hedgerows and dykes removed, and mechanization has virtually eliminated the need for gang labour, leaving fields of most farms devoid of human life for most of the year. Factory farming has brought pultry and pigs indoors permanently, while many cattle spend their winter months indoors, and there are now 'zero grazing' techniques that may see them inside year round. Only sheep steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the laws of industrial production, stubbornly refusing to prosper in regimented and sanitized conditions."
Go sheepies go!
