I spoke to a large group of farmers recently. I was hired by the Department of Agriculture to help
encourage traditional farmers to accept modern farming techniques. Here is the text of that speech.

Thank you all for planting your derrieres on the seats of this auditorium to listen to me talk.
Did you hear what I just did there? Instead of using the vernacular for your body's bottom, I used
the French word. It's something that breaks tradition in the farming community, since farmers are
known for their clean crops and dirty mouths.

Breaking tradition is what all of you farmers need to do to survive the new world of farming
because, well, the old way of doing things is as dead as all of your farming businesses will be in
no time if you don't learn to farm in the new millennium.

First off, the modern farm is indoors. That doesn't mean you have to move your living room furniture
around, boys, it means housing the plants in their own structures, along with a restroom if you are
wise. These structures will be temperature-controlled, so you don't have to worry about droughts,
sandstorms, snow, rain, sleet or dark of night.
