Milking and threshing sound way more fun than yet another Zoom meeting.
Whenever I think I can’t stand yet another video meeting, I think back on the (very brief) time I spent working on a farm. It was fun for a day or two, but after like 5 days I was ready to do whatever it took to get away from there. I got respect for farm workers, it isn’t easy!
When my anglo friends went to summer camp, my family always sent me to pick stuff.
My siblings and I got to keep the money at least, but yeah. Farm work is freaking hard, even when you’re used to it. Esp when paid by the bucket (still one of the most common metrics)

I’ve worked a small homestead before and miss it terribly.
