I grew up in a farming area, and worked on farms as a teen.

There's nothing good about it if you need the farm to make a living.

The wisdom for the past few decades is to have a city job to subsidize the farm.

I have relatives (a couple) who sadly quit their city jobs and bought a farm without local office jobs. They lost everything, even though the husband grew up on a family farm. Common sense isn't that common.

On the other hand, I have friends who grew flowers until weed was legalized, and they switched crops and are making millions now. Already had the land, greenhouses and equipment, just changed the seeds one year. Bam!
