I've never met a farmer's wife who wasn't run ragged and know more than a few who have run away from home. And farmers are mostly in debt up to their eyeballs. Farmers only get rich, if they stop farming and sell the land. That's why so many commit suicide.

Farming in Australia must not be a real job.

Wheat and barley isn't a real job except during harvest. Ditto canola.

Sheep aren't a real job except during lambing season, and that's only if you don't believe in "acceptable losses".

Beef cattle... not a job. Buy a hat, show up, pose at saleyards.

Dairy. Yeah that's a job. Ditto for orchards.

Vegetables... your children will run away at puberty and never, ever, return.

Sheep and cattle and pigs are a job if you practice rotational grazing at scale, which is the right way to do things.
