Honestly I'm all for it. It gives you some understanding how food is produced, gives you some contact with nature, maybe some physical exercise, some respect for farm workers, and such.
edit: after thinking about it, i'm NOT all for it. i'm against all forms of forced labor.
as long as the farms are publicly owned and there's no profit interest.
even then, it's basically slavery, or a framework for it. it'll quickly slide into "undesirables" being made to work there. then conditions will go to hell because who cares about those people, I want my produce.
And a little bit of glyphosate in the lungs.
yeah well that is an issue with workings conditions in general, i'd say. not specific to this proposal here.
while corporations get free labor win win for them!
Definitely better than military service
The only justification for a military draft is an existential threat. Having to import farm workers from south of the border isn't one.
