I’m an industrial-IT-meets-offshore-technician-thing, and my dad was a dairy farmer. He could never have done what I do. But I could never have done what he did either.
Being a farmer is like a handy man on steroids. Upkeep of buildings and machinery, building new where appropriate, caring for livestock, bus8ness finance/book keeping, ground water drainage/management, et al. And on top of that he was a semi-professional footballer on the side.
Yeah, I’m not even close to ready for animals yet, heh. Probably starting in 2026 or 2027 we’ll get chickens, but getting a farmsitter for when we want to go on vacation is a concern
