I used to be a network engineer and I found farming bloody complicated. You might be very surprised at the breadth of knowledge it takes to successfully farm today.
Kinda depends entirely on the scale we r talking about
I know a guy that did exactly this. I am living vicariously through him.
We love that for him. Escape

So, how soon will they be back when they realize farming is an order of magnitude more stressful than IT work?
I think that really depends on both the IT role as well as the type and scale of farm. If someone has a really stressful workplace in IT but makes enough money to buy a farm and semi-retire, it could just be that having the farm supplements their food and doesn’t need to turn a profit. It’s very different to, say, a subsistence farmer or one who has to make a lot to pay for mortgage, retirement, etc.
He didn’t say he needed to make money farming.
That’s when they turn the farm into a themed hotel that is only open during select holidays.
I hope he finds farm life fulfilling.
Break those rusty chains
As a software developer who started a farm this year, I’m getting a kick…
/ Still keeping my day job, though.
I daydream about it. Sometimes* I curse the discovery of oil. Instead of herding goats I am debugging C++ template errors. Though I do love airconditioning.
* a lie, I never do :) though I do think about goat herding.
Should I do that everytime I “Go Fishing”?
Farming is just a different matrix mode
