You know there's more money there which appears to be easy to grab. Suddenly, agriculture does not look attractive again. Many will look at you as a poor person who'd gone crazy if you say you are a farmer. But if you work in an oil company, even as a janitor :) you are the man! It's sad but true situation of things.

That's a good summary of how most of the world got into this current predicament.

I guess we never really learn from history. So we are destined to repeat it.
