Mate, trust me at no point in my life did I romantically daydream about standing up for 4+ hours in a row in the blazing sun watering plants, bending, weeding, etc... but the money is like hitting the lottery.I live in a city here in the states, so no regular farming for me(I have a "large" lot at 1/5 acre, including house footprint), but I practice urban homesteading, and have gotten into edible landscaping, and have several square foot gardens and grew enough for the 2 of us.
I blog personally about my journey in urban homesteading and also use the site as a research notebook.
I grew up in the country and remember the hard work of farming, I am WAY past working like a mule again, but best of luck to you.
My mum and dad told me the exact same thing - they went to school to avoid the grind of the farm. After I showed my mother the research that watermelons really are super profitable, she flipped and now is very supportive haha.
Keep in mind my grandmother fed, clothed and educated 7 children alone when her husband died just from pineapple farming. The money is real and serious. That's all I'm after
