This one does, I can't speak for the majority, lol

So why did you ignore the question about your farm?

I said I grew up farming and around farmers , I never stated i was currently a farmer. I only have basic things, chickens and a garden that can produce winter and summer vegetables, I currently work on a horse farm as a farmhand. I was part of the FFA in school, Future Farmers of America, I know a lot of farmers though, cattle farmers, mostly hay, and alfalfa, some tobacco owners, and some soybean and corn.

The human species lived primitively for eons. Farming was one of the pillars of efficiency that gave people the "free time" to concentrate on other tasks and advance human knowledge (and thus civilization) in the blink of an eye. People who yearn for the hunter/gatherer times need to live that lifestyle only briefly before they are begging for the comforts of civilization. I suggest you read the first 3rd of "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond.
