Yes, farming is hard, very hard

Most here don't appreciate how hard it is (especially if you're inexperienced)

Do people still grow beans using a cotton in a cup? Do they still teach that at schools? That's basically the 'hello world' of farming

Of course, depends on what you are doing, type of plants, inside a greenhouse or in an open field, the scale of it etc. Not to mention raising animals. That's very hard as well

It's unsurprising that it's getting ever more 'industry like'. You take a lot of people and specialize in only a few crops, so you can have profits that work out. Machines are expensive, fertilizer, soil analysis, etc, etc

And then there's a climate issue, too much rain, too cold, too warm and you miss the mark.
