Or maybe being an independent farmer is one of the most awful and horrid lives a human can live and farmers worked 14 hours a day year around just to survive and still died if there was a flood or drought. Fuck that.
I don't know about that, the farmers I know are some of the happiest bunch and while they do work a good deal so does anyone that's trying to get ahead in life.
What do they farm, where? How many government subsidies do they have to get to stay afloat? Farming today is not what farming was 50+ years ago. And while I agree that rural society is better for humans than urban, I hate the romanticized vision of farming so many people seem to have.
