Article was promoted to GA recently enough and the hook is certainly interesting and cobbled together using multiple bits of the article that are cited inline (although I can't get past the paywall for most of them). No copyvio detected. QPQ done. I might also suggest reordering the diff jobs alphabetically, just for aesthetic purposes. Otherwise, this looks good to go! PS, there seems to be a wonky ref (biznews) at the moment but since it's an additional ref I think it's safe to remove it. Cheers,

Thank you! All the jobs should be in the Farm Weekly article which doesn't come up as paywalled for me, and the biznews ref has been fixed by AnomieBOT. If reordered, the hook would read:

I prefer it as is because it's roughly chronological, but up to you. 5225C (
