Personally I learned programming in the evenings after school when I was 12-15. Sure that counts as „parents providing for me“ and my parents weren't farmers. But even in farming it's not like you work 24/7. And when air is crap or it's a slow season in between crops etc there's plenty of time off.

And many farmers (labour, whatever) do know how important it is to give kids time to study things. TBH for me parents who drive kids around to all sorts of extra-curriculum activities for me seem to be much worse than free-range parents who just ensure that kids have time to pursue things they like. Just with some navigation to ensure they don't spend all the time partying. Which is also important though.
