-You're never done with a farm, it is a constant battle against the elements. (It's just doubly hard if you need to break the land first, making it suitable for farming - but maintaining land comes with its own set of challenges. (I've got approx. .4 sq miles of land to tend to beside my engineering job.)
- chrisjc 5y agoJust to clarify that I didn't mean all work was done... more that the existing homestead footprint leaves nothing of interest left to do as far as homesteading goes. But still, it's an important point to drive home to anyone thinking of doing homesteading or farming... you're right, the work is never done, and it's often really hard work. Might be better to go off and work on a farm or homestead to see what you're in for before committing your life to it.
