Being both a farmer and a "farmer at heart", I have to agree on some of your points but I didn't say that all of these people (inventors) were farmers as you seem to think I did. Many of them were farmers simply because there were so many farmers and in Ford's case, simply wanted to make farm life easier. I don't think John Deere ever farmed. He was a blacksmith in Vermont and then moved to Illinois and made history by turning saw blades into plow shares so he could make enough money to feed his family. I don't think Edison ever farmed but I didn't give George Westinghouse, who I don't think ever farmed, the credit he deserves for making the distribution of electricity, which is vitally important to us as farmers, a possibility. I don't think he was thinking much about farming. His work was seized upon by farmers and put to good use.
