Wholly Tom Sawyer! I should have thought this when I was farming, get someone to pay you to do your work for you.

There have been dude ranches for decades ...... seems like a cool little adventure as long as you don't have to do anything. Especially if you have kids, they actually like doing work as long as it doesn't last too long.

No. I lived in the middle-of-nowhere once, and I didn't enjoy it in the least bit. I also don't enjoy driving everywhere. It adds unnecessary pollution and it's a hassle as well. No, I would not want to live on a farm, or be a farmer.
