You guys forget that Flave worked on a dairy when he was younger.
That dairy farm schit was hard work. But planting and rounding up some soybeans twice a year? Pffffttt. Get real. That's a part time job. I suppose thats why virtually all Farmers have off farm jobs. None in my family do. Full time and mostly 365. Congrats. The vast majority of farmers rely on off farm income. I know every area is completely different, but with a closer proximity to urban areas and a lot of tourists/travelers passing through, a lot of farms are transitioning to a value added model. Dairies building creameries and producing/selling milk, ice cream, cheese etc. on site, truck farms with produce stands, folks raising custom beef, pork, chicken, organic egg etc.. and selling directly to the consumers. Poultry co-op owned by the farmers competing very well against the big-ag companies. Lots of restaurants sourcing everything possible from local farms directly. People starting to really consider where the food they’re eating comes from and the impacts of those choices. It’s good to see. People sick of being beholden to some middleman buyer/broker who’s beating them down and turning around and selling for big profits. Food production needs to be a lot more local. Pisses me off to look on a can or package and see “produced in (not USA)” Edit to add: very few farms around here over 500 acres. Most a lot less. Beef operations, lots of poultry houses, crops, dairy. No hog farming. Lot of family are farmers. 7 days a week. Hard way to make a living but a lot of people have it in their blood. Wouldn’t trade for half the hours and twice the money doing something else.

None in my family do. Full time and mostly 365. Congrats. The vast majority of farmers rely on off farm income. Farming crops in the Louisiana sugar bowl delta is busy business with the exception of sugar cane . They get some slack time but roll 24/7 during cutting and grinding seasons, Yeah..and they get 7 cuttings of alfalfa in Arizona. The point..as always...remains. Buddy of mine gets on average 7 cuts in NM. Not this year, he had enough water to irrigate twice. He usually farms all summer, buys the other locals alfalfa and hauls in the winter, among other things. No need for irrigation in our general area for the crops I’ve mentioned including hay.
Corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, oats and sugarcane.
The corn and soybeans can allow double cropping with winter wheat and oats with good timing and favorable weather.
When not cutting and grinding cane in the winter months, the farmers cut back on their seasonal labor, do equipment maintenance and many run cattle on the side,
So farming is seasonal down there too? Not sure of exactly what you’re asking or the point you’re trying to make. Hot house truck farming is pretty much year round.

I don't remember how many cuttings they were getting where I lived in AZ, but running off pivots it was a lot. 10 sticks in my head, but it's been a long time. I had the opportunity to invest in a pivot with a few other guys, but I wasn't in a position to invest that kind of money. Money making venture for sure. He has some wells but it only covers a small portion of the farm. The problem is you can sell the water to oil company’s for far more than that crop will ever make. Most farmers there are doing the same if they have a well that’s legal to do so. Fracking does take a lot of water and seldom gives back 10% of it on the flow back depending on the reservoir. Then it has to be disposed of. Two retired Cotten farmers from the Odessa area that I know are leasing their property and are selling some of their water when the opportunity arises.

Was told recently that Bill Gates owns 70,000 acres of farmland in Louisiana.
Edited to add: And 48,000 acres in Arkansas. Has a total of 242,000 acres nationwide through Cascade Investments company that he controls.

Of course not. If you ever expended any energy you wouldn't weigh 400 pounds.
