(this is just a joke - of course farmwork still has physically demanding parts)

    Your great uncle used to be a farmer. Now he’s a parasite on other farmers as a landlord.

      Eh, my great uncle wasn’t much of a parasite. He basically farmed until retirement and started to rent out his land to his neighbors who wanted to expand their operations. He only really charged enough to pay for the taxes and upkeep, but his son in law was the one who put it up for bid because he is a drunk.

      Initially the son in law was supposed to take over the farm, but ended up losing his leg to a combine harvester. Word to the wise…don’t operate heavy machinery while severely sauced.
