I honestly unironically support it. Lots of people should go touch some grass sometimes. It gives you some movement, builds an understanding for where our food "really comes from", and connects people in a way similar to the military, but less targeted on warfare.
The only problem is the exploitative angle of the whole thing. They do underpaid work, but the farm owning corporation gets to keep the profits.
Sounds good. Too bad the rich and politically powerful will be able to dodge, just like they dodge the draft.
Would've done me a lot of good when I was young that's for sure.
You can be an exploited, underpaid and overworked farm laborer pretty easily if that's something you want.
Would make sense, if it wasn't an exploitation scheme.
