Have you actually done farming? I grew up on a farm. It's no where close to a safe bet.
It's capital intensive, high risk, hard work with low margins. Not at all like stardew.
- djbusby 2y agoPersonal horticulture is fun and rewarding! Grow your own lettuce, tomato, etc. BigAg is HARD WORK
- malfist 2y agoAbsolutely. I love having my own garden and growing food for myself and friends. I give away a ton of food with what I grow. I'll never run a farm. Closest thing I might come to is a florist's greenhouse, but that's probably still a no go

Which I would agree is more or less true, but only because farming already went through its consolidation phase. Hence the old saying that goes something like: "A farmer has to be a mechanic, an engineer, a scientist, a veterinarian, a business manager, and an optimist—all in a single day." As a farmer, if you think programming, CI/CD pipeline management, and database administration being consolidated into one job is a line too far... Brace yourself!
