Mr green text has no idea what he’s talking about.
I grew up on a farm you’re telling me that was an idyllic life?
Farmwork is stupidly long days in awful weather, it’s either hot, or freezing cold, or raining, or snowing. The pay is effectively abysmal and makes you wish you worked in Starbucks on minimum wage because that would be an improvement. You have all this necessary equipment you’ve had to “buy”, which despite costing more than most houses is about as reliable as a Soviet era tank.
And that’s just growing props if you’re mad enough to also raise cattle then it’s even worse because you’ve got all them to deal with and sheep in particular are more suicidal than a depressed lemming.
Soviet equipment is much more repairable than any of the modern crap we have nowadays which is designed to be used and tossed in a relatively short timeframe.
Well it isn’t subsistence farming by any stretch of the imagination it’s full on industrial farming.
Most farms these days, at least crop farms, grow only two or three different crops. Mostly dictated by what will fetch the best price and what is currently being subsidised by the government. Often times you will find that farms are not growing any food stuffs at all.
I currently work at a farm and it is fucking hard work for $15 an hour. The only reason I stay is because family friends own it and I need money for college. At least I don’t have to deal with sheep lmao.
Almost certainly the latter, though im sure some soviet era tank specialist nerd will write up a ‘bhut achthually …’ 5 paragraph essay on how soviet tanks were the best of the best and could be repaired with twigs and mud
Also less diversity, and rarely any good/interesting restaurants. I ran to the city for 15 years, now I’m in a small town and it’s fun to have private land (a little anyway), but I still miss miss late night outings, once a month brunches, and really good Indian, Mexican, Ethiopian, Chilean, etc food I could get within 20 minutes in the city.

But hey, you get a nice view.
Well, at least a soviet tank can be repaired with a hammer, unlike a deere

Thick enough wood log works too
There’s a reason the kids aren’t taking over the farm. Not to mention that a 50 acre returned soldier lot can’t provide for a family of six anymore.

I grew up next to a farm. They stopped growing produce because the government regulations got to be crazy. They just grow soy beans and hay now.
Can they not poison the water supply anymore or were there too many strings attached to get their subsidies?
You know nothing about them.
Wait, you got paid? I just got grabbed by the neighbor whenever he needed another hand

Are you praising farming equipment or saying Soviet era tanks are unreliable.
Almost certainly the latter, though im sure some soviet era tank specialist nerd will write up a ‘bhut achthually …’ 5 paragraph essay on how soviet tanks were the best of the best and could be repaired with twigs and mud
