Why not go to an Ag show and find out for yourself? Also, check out the State fair if you live in the US and go to 4-H shows and fairs.

a real farmer his job is bloody hard work early am and late pm especially lambing season but the gentleman farmer I would say its all a lay back. Why don't you approach a farmer and ask if you can spend a week on the farm that's at an interesting dry season not right now you would not like it all believe me

They are VERY BUSY people. They get up between 3:00am and 5:00am every morning, no morning's to sleep in, and then have chores throughout the day feeding and caring for all the livestock, etc.
They buy and trade animals and food products from the animals.
It's a very very busy life, and they usually have millions of dollars worth in livestock and other animals and farm equipment, but have almost no money in the bank. They make all their money on people buying their products and on trading or selling animals.

visit the Houston rodeo and livestock show, it's the biggest in the world. every March for about 2-3 weeks. you'll learn all you ever wanted to know about farming/ranching. it's a life of hard work lived among animals and crops. good times

Actually very busy, not a 9 - 5 job either. I work in mental health and farmers have the highest suicide rate compared to any other profession

Farmers? They fall in love, have kids, the kids grow up and went to school. After college the kids go to New York to work and don't recall where they came from.

lisapf7 and egrisenty have given spot on answers. I come from a farming background...and that's exactly why I chose a different career.
