    Looks a pretty good idea to me. Don't some crops depend on wild fauna, like worms and bees?

    You'd need a big lift for tractors and combine harvesters.

            You are all missing the point.

            This would mean all the special "country folk" moving to town.

              Then we could build new Lutons across all our remaining farmland, to house our annual influx of guests.

              It really is win-win!

                We've had vertical farms for years, we call them tower blocks.

                  Grow grass on the roof.
                  Have cattle on the floor below.
                  Slaughter house below.
                  Then processing plant
                  McDonalds on ground floor.
                  Sewage disposal then piped up to top floor.
                  Piss gets piped to Fosters Brewery.
