I have a small operation and it's a pain in the ass. Just enough crops for the house and a bunch of chickens and in considering stopping because it's too time consuming and I'm already a wagie. Sure having infinite eggs is nice but animals take a lot of time

>>24765296
Farmers in the US have it better than anyone.
They have land that isn’t subject to inflation like currency.
The government subsidizes their crops because they can’t even manage to diversify their crops on their own
They only have to really work hard during the few weeks of planting and harvest. The rest of the time they get to fuck off and tinker with equipment or whatever.

Land prices are so high that unless you’re born into or marry into a farm family, becoming a farmer is a pipe dream

>>24765296
European farmer here
It's better than being a wageslave I guess
Don't have animals, so it's not that stressful
Making it as a farmer was never the goal I guess, because being a farmer means you made it already.
What else do you need?
Enough time and money to travel around and enough time to laugh at wagies.
Nothing else needed.
Finding a wife is the hard Part though because they all prefer some Banker Cuck and the big city life

My grandpa was a farmer and died from kidney disease from bouncing in the tractor seat and breathing gas fumes his entire life

Every farmer I know is extremely wealthy but these guys have above 30 million dollars or more just in land value I have bees so I work closely with them. One of them is running so many livestock he had 10k sheep stolen in 1 year and it didnt even make a dent. This year has been amazing for them one of the top 5 biggest crop harvests in our nations history they have been burying what they cant off load as trucking companies, silos and storage centers cant keep up with the supply. One who employs me let his wife buy a 140k front loader and branch stripper as a pet project for her to remove trees and sell the wood, she made half a million the thing had wheels taller than me.

They also run at huge debt until harvests or some finance so they're always in debt all year round, but have tens of millions of cash.

No they dont. Farmers are easily one of the most cucked groups in north america. They're chained to companies like Monsanto, or the Big Chicken mega-corporations like slaves. The average farmer is in massive 7 figure debt and just gets shit on repeatedly by a system who forces them to compete with each other like crabs in a bucket.

Watch any monsanto documentary, and Super Size Me 2 for more information

Like 81
Didn't look like a fun way to go anon. Didn't get to enjoy the spoils of his work, had to wake up really early every day to tend the land, and his wife ended up being extremely greedy and is going against his will.

Sigh that caption for an ass pic, what’s wrong with society biz?

>>24765641
sad. I hope he was still happy with his life at th end

>>24765603
Oh nice.
Actually worked for a few farmers there as well when I was younger. Grain harvest and stuff. Good times.
Completly different dimensions than in little ass Europe. That's the thing I hate here, that the infrastructure limits me.
More acres = higher cashflow

Is it bad that I have the urge to push that thot off a cliff?

>>24765368
Average yearly net profits for average farming family in US is like $25. Yes, around $25.

>>24765772
Doesn't mean anything

Because they own their own capital since food is a form of capital and they can avoid all taxes.

I guess the average crypto miner income is also around 25.

>>24765603
Fucking knew it.
South west victoria, by any chance?

>>24765321
If you didn't have to wage would you consider doing it just as a hobby?

>>24765296
>1) Can you make it being a farmer?
No.
>2) Can you be a farmer after making it?
As long as you understand it's a hobby that will never be profitable, sure.

>>24765296

>As long as you understand it's a hobby that will never be profitable, sure.
sounds good to me

>>24766269
Just remember you can't deduct expenses related to a hobby. If you make the effort to at least pretend it's a business you can at least get some of your expenses subsidized via write-offs.

>>24765296
Farming is a lifestyle. You dont do it for the money. It sucks and it's hard so its not for everyone and most cant make it work either financially or just physically.
Most successful small operations were inherited from their parents and will be passed down. Starting from scratch is tough
So, do it if you want but you probably wont make bank

>>24765321
Chickens take no time at all? Feed them and collect eggs, nothing else?
Unless you have predators you need to watch out for or something?

Farming is shit, make a 1 acre permaculture garden instead. You'll grow way more shit than you would want to eat in a year anyway, trade it to other people at farmer's markets and stuff. If you want protein you can get chickens too and put them at the very far end of your property because they stink to high heaven.

>>24765966
Plants yes, animals no
>>24766415
Idk why but mine are retarded and seem to get in trouble easily, fight among themselves, etc

>>24766476
That's normal. Chickens aren't zero effort but they are low effort. You can look up proper care for chickens online and it'd be just a few steps
>let them out of the coop into a yard in the morning so they can fuck around
>feed them
>clean out coop
>collect eggs
>put them back in the coop at night
That's probably oversimplified but it's what I saw in an anime last night and anime wouldn't lie to me.

>>24766584
. It doesn't take a lot of time but I can't be arsed

>>24766670
Then you probably shouldn't raise livestock, anon. A garden is probably more your speed.

I farm EPIC. In a way. You could say I have it all stacked against them. Next year is the proving ground.
