    As a programmer who grew up in rural nowhere-land, I’m convinced most people who glorify farming have never spent a day on a farm doing any actual work.

    Either that or they’re isolationist due to being religious nutjobs (solidly 1/3rd to 1/2 of people in the middle of nowhere IME)

      The dream is to get rich programming and THEN start farming. When you don’t need to do it for income. Nobody mentions the first half usually though. I’m sure some do actually think they want to make a living off farming, good luck to them.
