How come no one makes fun of agriculture in america ?

If we can successfully produce agricultural products in America why is manufacturing impossible?

This again!

We manufacture plenty in America. Every company that I've worked for over the last 30 years has manufactured something or the other. We just don't manufacture cheap stuff like toasters.

For Apple (which is what I had in mind) I think they aim for 50%.
