I just saw this commercial on tv here in Chicago.  I still can't believe this is a real commercial.

Wow, outstanding for production quality alone.

With all that livestock, one should never be lonely.

That's hilarious. We have a high scool near where I grew-up that was nicknamed the "Farm" school because it was an Agricultural High Scool within the Philadelphia city limits (W.B. Saul HS). I just sent the link to my friends who went there. If they only had that site 20-some years ago, they could have all lived happier lives!!

Always assumed it some sort of joke, as I zipped through the commercial. Turns out it is real, and a real match making web site.

Seems like a pretty narrow demographic.  How many farmers are left since the big agribusiness conglomerates started taking over?  Most of the fields are plowed by robots.  If this system finds you a match within a 100-mile radius, you better find a way to make it work.

Or Ohio, IN, IL, etc.  I see many small farms out in the country all over OH.

But I've never seen a robot plowing fields, last I checked humans still drive the tractors and do many other jobs, even on the biggest of farms. And these people are farmers.

ADM's farms only use robots.  If you're driving by, sure, it looks like any other farm, but if you were to get closer you'd see a horrifying post-apocalyptic dystopia where all the vegetables are genetically engineered by self-aware machines that are slowly poisoning us.  It really sucks to be quite honest.

And I thought I was being a bad man by putting 10-10-10 fertilizer, lime and 7 dust on my garden this weekend.
