funny reading stories like this as someone who grew up on a farm and knows how much hard work it is, I would drive tractors, feed cows, pull in hay, silage etc on evenings and weekends and even before school when required, from around age 11... I studied maths/sci and went into computing, and am now again coming full circle with vertical farming and controlled environments! Traditional farming is so much better for the planet than intensive farming, however, I believe it takes a certain type of person and mentality to get through it. It really is a lifestyle choice! I have also wondered how much easier farming could be if the farm didn't actually need to generate money to survive...


All the world used to be farmers. Pretty much anyone can do it if the alternative is starving.


>vertical farming and controlled environments!

Curious what this involves for you. Are you in an urban, rural, exurb, etc area? What are you growing?


I think he's referring to the "4 hour work week" type culture...

Funnily enough none of those pitches resonate with me. They all seem a bit long
