Adding to this: the enormous amounts of knowledge required. How do you know how far apart (or deep) to plant the seeds? Or when? Or how much fertilizer, or water, or how often to water? Or when? Sure you can use common sense or look it up. But once you get to a certain scale, the stakes are high enough that the risk of ruin is too high. Sure you save money by milking your cow, but how much is one vet visit? Unless it's in your blood, trying to go from techies to farmers is just stupid. Edit to add: one of the principal differences between software and farming is we are one "git checkout" away from having another chance to fix it. In agriculture, you get another chance... next year.
