Farming is a gambling man's game.

You can prepare, work hard, and buy insurance to hedge your bets, but your ultimate outcome is always out of your control.

There's no stopping a freak freeze or a hailstorm. Same as watching from the couch while the team you bet against wins.

If you want a low-risk job, don't farm.

If uncertainty stresses you out, start a garden. It's a low-stakes way to practice dealing with loss you can't prevent.
