Today's farming is no longer a guy with a horse in the field. It is an army of tractors and other machines, all running on the fuel that they will later be harvesting. And the operators of these machines do not live next to the field, but often commute a large distance, again using fuel.
It may pay off financially with government incentives, but is it sustainable or even profitable environmentally?
