Oh wow I need to see that series. I hope it's hilarious.

I think farming is misunderstood because historically it's what 95% of people did, and it wasn't all that high tech. Not that pre-modern farming was easy: there's endless nuances about how to actually grow plants/animals optimally. But modern farming is ridiculously high tech. A modern farmer is a business owner, a logistics engineer, a mechanic, a programmer/hacker, and a labourer. I'm probably missing a dozen sub-professions of farmer. I bet "calories generated per farmer per year" would be a fascinating timeseries graph to view.

it's crazy good. small spoiler: it starts with jeremy buying a lamborghini tractor, because, well, it's a lambo!

at the end of the day, it made him respect farmers quite hard. and it showed a ton of people (including me!) how does modern farming works.

I just watched the first episode. I love that he wanted to turn a barn into a bomb.

also farmers are incredibly resourceful. Every farmer i have ever met can fix any just about equipment they have because its so difficult and expensive to get someone to come out and fix it.
