The average OT poster equates being a farmer with something like a cross between the Beverly Hillbillys and Greenacres.

Between all the cold beer drinking at the tailgates and Mardi Gras, ain’t nobody got time for this.

Whatever happened to coming home from working 12-15 hours a day and having a drink?

Doing healthy stuff? Who the hell do this Millennials think they are?!

This is just a reguritated version of the kibbutz.

Sounds good on paper but doesn't work.

When you put ideological physically lazy white people on a plantation and ask them to work like Mexicans, all of a sudden mommies basement sounds better and better.

Before I get down voted, I have worked in the construction business for a long time.

You should probably recalibrate your sarcasm detector. I used to run a farm for a living.

Yes but I have numerous golf courses close by, not so much mountains.

And I won’t die if I fall off the golf course. The mountain I’m not so sure about

So it is the "pinnacle" of what's nearby and safe. Wuss.

Golf isn’t going anywhere. Quantity is not quality.

Golf is getting better, actually. It sucked when everyone wanted to be Tiger Woods. Now that he’s washed up, and the scumbags quit the game, we have our own board on Tigerdroppings.

More proof golf is here for the long haul.

Will be a good place to talk about the good old days when there were golf courses.

Just like Golf Courses have a Pro that runs things, these agri-communities usually have a paid garden pro that makes sure work that needs to get done, gets done. Some of them have a Pro and other staff. So all the millennials have to do is show up when they want to say they "worked" in the garden. Truth is, its a lot of older people buying in these communities too and they are probably the ones doing most the work.

Many of these have hired help, much like a golf course and the homeowner pays it in dues. So you don't necessarily have to get out and pick the fruit. Master gardeners and help to run them. I've been to one in Atlanta and it is very nice. They are expansive, barns, raised beds, row crops, fruit tree orchards, green space, trails. Pretty good set up.

Yeah, the agrarian south is rooted in the hippy movement.

Some of you have become just a bit too far removed from the farm, and the planet upon which we live on. Technology has made most of us semi functioning human retards.
