Running a farm is a ton of work, exactly. The difference of having the ample injections of cash and not having them is pretty huge, especially when it comes to how common the issues that pop up when trying to run a modern farm are, and how expensive they can be. I think when you're someone who grew up with exposure to the lifestyle of farming, it gets easier to see that the escapism is possible because of how rare it is for people to interact with people whose main employment is farming on a regular basis. It is honestly pretty interesting from a historical perspective to think about what this means as a shift in the populace's opinion towards certain kinds of work, because we're really entering unforeseen territory in US history where no one will even really understand first-hand what a version of the US where the vast majority of humans living there are engaged in agricultural labor on a regular basis lookd like, if that makes sense.
