where did the "farming is hard" meme come from?  were boomers and the greatest generation just shit at farming or did they grab far too much land to handle? i recently started my own garden with hand tools + chickens for eggs on half an acre and it genuinely isn't bad at all. i spend in total maybe 5 hours a week taking care of everything from weeding to cleaning the hen house and feeding the chickens to looking for slugs and wiping off any pests. i even managed to can or freeze most of my food, which has come in handy this winter as i basically have no food bills aside from salt, pepper and a few utility items like toilet paper. if i kill a deer thats basically my food for the year when added to my harvest. the fuck.
