My dad likes to try random stuff out of nowhere, has been living like that for ever. It's no surprise to me anymore. But sometimes he realises he does not have enough time to take care off them, the projects is abandoned or given to any of his children.

My father was the same. Bought a 1000 hectare farm and he was NOT a farmer. Hard lessons learned, I learned some of it as a kid. The most important one for me was, don't try to farm if your father/grandfather wasn't a farmer or lived that life. Farming requires a transfer of knowledge/wisdom unless ultra commercialized and brute-forced with cash.

I will hire a farmer for sure. But I still want to learn enough to oversee things.

Look for some local Amish, we'll help anyone.

There are no amish in my country unfortunatly.

You are literally doing the same thing by not completely letting a farm manager take over, or selling it...
