Hell, even on those industrial farms they still need an insane amount of manual labor, that is why a lot of Central/South Americans come up here, since they can work illegally and make more money doing that than they could doing anything similar back home.
If you think everything is just riding around in a tractor you got basically no idea how much work it takes. I just raise pigs and cranberries which is ezpz compared to a lot of places because the cranberries are really only two months of hard labor and most of the pig stuff can be taken care of the morning outside of farrowing season. That is still working dawn to dusk bent over doing back breaking labor for two two months pre and post flooding the bogs. As for the pigs I got to haul feed, muck out stalls, rotate the midden heaps, and fix whatever they broke because believe you me pigs are smart as fuck and will figure out ways to break shit out of boredom and curiosity. Then I have to work day job at the lumber mill to make money to pay the bills, put money aside for my kid's college funds, and put away money for the taxes.
I don't know what ideas you have about farm life, but it isn't really easy or a way to get rich. It's a way to scape by and make a little extra money out of the land you own. On top of that all it would take is the price of feed spiking, a disease, or just bad weather to put me and my family deep into debt.
