I went to an agricultural high school, there's a lot more to it than you might think
traditional farming practices are easy enough to learn just growing up on a farm or picking it up on the job, but modern practices and methods are a lot more complicated.

That's how I've always seen farming - a family thing.
my brain can make memes faster than reality allows. Imagine homer "I ate the whole thing" but whole is replaced with smoked and theres a half opacity tekdot overlayed.
It took too much energy to retrive and post this picture I already knew what it was without moving my hands(typing)

even the smallest commercial farms here have multimillion dollar annual revenue - maintaining that level of output, especially with a small group requires knowledge of soil composition, pesticides, nutrient balance, temperature/humidity projection... dairy or meat farmers need basic veterinary knowledge, maintain their own vaccination and innoculation schedules, many do artificial inseminations

Yeah I was involved with a dairy co-op and they had their own air strip but it was no more than 20 people working there. Some of the machines invovled ran in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The money spent on fuel per year was more than I have made in my entire life.
They would buy 20 tons of calcium hydroxide at once.

yeah, it really surprised me when I found out how much those families made - being an agricultural school a lot of kids from farming backgrounds travelled a long way to attend. until then I never realised just how much produce a single farm churned out.

it's how SOMAN and TABUN were initially discovered
if I remember right the guy who discovered the first nerve agents (SOMAN derivative) killed himself with them because he didn't predict how unbelievably effective they were on the human nervous system
