Actually, I would have thought AJ to be the illiterate one... I think I've read somewhere that in canon she has trouble counting to SIX.

Boo for insulting stereotypes. Having a Southern accent doesn't automagically make you retarded.

seeing as it looks like applejack and Bic Mac never went to school (remember AJ left ponyville without needing to leave school) it's reasonable to assume they spent their lives helping on the farm.

Applebloom could be the first o get schooling which actually makes AJ kinda sweet as she wants her sister to get schooling she missed out on

^But in Call of the Cutie, Applejack says that her, Granny Smith and Big Mac all were the last in their class to get their marks. AJ probably left the farm during summer break or something. Or it could be like in the old days when farm kids were let out of school during harvest and planting seasons.

I suspect Big Mac is a lot smarter than folks give him credit for. That "hayseed" look may be just an act, you know.

Maybe he's making mistakes on purpose. I mean, he's being tutored by Twilight Sparkle! Wouldn't you lengthen the whole thing too if you were in his place?

Being Dyslexic does not make you stupid. It just means you hae a problem with reading. Hell, I know a guy who's dyslexic who can do complex math in his head.

I don't see why so many people seem to think this is off-character. Big Mac may not be that stupid but he may have issues with things like spelling, we have absolutely no proof one way or the other in the show, and it doesn't seem unfitting. The idea of this whole scene is adorable and is so spot-on in my eyes that it's something I could see happening in the show.

Where has it ever been mentioned or implied in any part of the show that Applejack has trouble counting to 6?

The show canon seems to follow the "strong stupid southern redneck farmer" cliche that continues on while all other forms of derogatory humor slowly die.
Nobody's perfect, not even the MLP writers.
I personally hold that it would be impossible to operate a farm without a fairly good education. The dummies might be able to buck bales of hay and pick apples, but once you start marketing produce or writing paychecks you need to pick up on some learning.

big mac doesn't come across dumb at all. AJ comes across a little stubborn and slow to accept new ideas in, but she's not dumb either (she was reading a book to bloomberg, so that's canon that she's not illiterate)

Actually, this does bring up a question of how smart Applejack is. I mean, she's a great cook and knows how to take care of plants, but she did mention that the farm was in need of repair and her best outfits seem to be work duds. Their surprising lack of money for basic farm equipment seems odd seeing as they run the only apple farm in Ponyville (probably holding a monopoly on said product there). Selling one of the most popular fruit product in a town of ponies, and yet they're strapped for cash? Something doesn't add up...

Anyways, I would say the Apple family (specifically AJ, AB, BM, and GS) is smart regarding people affairs and apple products (such as apple recipes, PR and farm maintenance), but lack book smarts. Braeburn doesn't seem to suffer from this though.

@anon882 It's a well known fact that farmin' folk were always poor. My American History teacher's parents were farmers before, during, and after the great depression. He said that the depression didn't make any difference to them. They "were poor before the depression, and [they] were poor during the depression."
Because, seriously, if you're a farmer, the only way to make more money is to grow more. Now, that said, prices drop if there's more of that product around. Supply and Demand, 'n all. So, if you grow more, you end up selling for less, and then you may not even sell them all before they go bad, meaning lost profit from
1) Lower prices -and-
2) More products going to waste.
But, if you grow less products you, obviously, aren't going to earn any more than you have been.

TL;DR.
Farmers are stereotypically, and in practice, poor.
