And you don't usually grow your own food, yet it's not seen as strange.

- hsn915 5y agoIt would be seen as strange if you say you are a farmer but you don't have a farm that you grow food in, instead you just temporarily rent a farm from random places for short amounts of time. Last year I was renting my farm from AppleFarms but they started charging high prices when I wanted to expand so I switched to AmazonForestServices. For migration I used the DockerShippingService from GiantGarageInc to transplant all the seeds and plants from my previous farm to the new farm. They have amazing support and their staff was very diligent in plucking all the plants carefully.
- nleach 5y agoIt’s non-obvious, but that’s actually very close to how farming works today, at least in the US. Farm-owners will lease their land for a season to grow a specific crop. The land needs to meet requirements for acreage, irrigation, etc., but someone else will “use” the farm. I’m sure this happens on a continuum from “that’s a big field, can I use it?” to “here are seeds, I expect XYZ yield in N months”.
