My hobby farm aquaculture has given me a new appreciation of farming in general. I used to think farmers worked hard only parts of the year and just slacked the rest of the year. Wrong! There is always something that needs my attention, needs fixed, a problem to deal with and I'm sure it's the same with any farmer. Add to that it takes a lot of time away from my main business - taxidermy.
And of course there's the risk factor in any farming due to no control over the weather.
Like Mark Twain said, "Everybody complains about the weather but no body does anything about it." It's got to be really frustrating for a farmer to look out over his wilting crops and not be able to do anything about it.
