>>2794145I used to be a farmer. I'll tell you why.
Every morning I would wake up at 5:30 AM, before the crack of dawn, and I would have my morning shit. Then I would go to my local pub and have a bacon + egg sandwich, plus coffee.
My farm was located on a hill. And every morning, after I did my routine, I would go to the top of that hill and sit in my chair, read the newspaper and watch the sun come up.
It is difficult to describe in words the feeling of awe you get from watching the sun crest the mountains and bathe your farm. The light doesn't just change, but also the temperature. A draft of warm wind comes to meet you with the rising with the sun, which carries with it the smell of your crops.
And then you work. You work all day until sundown. You walk, and you walk, and you walk, listening to your favorite podcasts. Sometimes you do some heavy lifting, sometimes you fix a fence. But nothing is truly monotonous. Every problem is engaging and fulfilling.
When the day is finally done, you have a big hearty meal, you shitpost on 4chan for awhile, and then you fall asleep. And that sleep you feel from working your ass off all day is the most satisfying, refreshing rest you will ever experience in your life.
tl;dr you get fit, eat well, sleep hard and get to experience nature.
I had to quit farming because the market I was participating in was being out-done by chinese farmers. For every acre of feed I grew, the chinese would produce 40 hectares more. The market crashed on my third year, so I had to quit.
Great job though. 10/10 if you don't care about making loadsa dosh.
