Yes, indeed. Farmers do make money, but not all of them make it from farming. Today’s farms and farmers are going the way of the internal combustion engine. They were really nice to have around, but electric cars are so much better.

On most days, between morning and evening chores and milkings, fields need to be planted or harvest, machinary needs to be fixed, manure needs to be composted, and other farm upkeep tasks need to be preformed. This doesn’t leave much free time and working days are often 12-14 hours each day.

Most farmers don’t actually ‘plow’ their fields. They either use conservation tillage methods or do not till the soil at all. Farmers try minimally disruptive techniques that leave much of the plant residue on the surface of the soil helping reduce erosion.

Farmers have a consistent supply of food which they planted and later harvested themselves. Farming can be hard and has many advantages or disadvantages but in the end, it is better than foraging because it gives people a constant supply of food.
