I waste a lot of time on YouTube. I’m not proud of it, but I figure as long as I get my stuff done, I’m okay. I watch some very odd things on the ‘Tube, but lately, I’ve gotten into watching people farm. I’ve never worked on a farm before, nor I have I really ever wanted to, but I’m utterly fascinated watching other people do it on YouTube. First off, I had no clue there was so much tech involved. Oh, I knew about tractors, but some of these things have more monitors than I have. The water pivots have cellular technology! My dumbass thought farming was a quaint thing that existed in the same way it did 100 years ago. Now that I think about it, I know better, but I’ve never considered all that goes into it before, not had I thought that farming too had been taken over by the tech industry.

I also find the struggles to be very enrapturing. I don’t know if that’s the right word or not, and I don’t want to seem like I’m downplaying the hardships that farmers seem to go through, but watching them persevere is amazing. Makes me feel the feels, if that makes sense.

I’ve probably watched a few hours worth of this content over the last few days. I think part of my interest is that it’s a completely different way of living and working than anything I’ve ever considered before. And it feels real unlike a lot of the other content that floats around the internet, and that also makes me more interested in it.

Funnily enough, it’s also made me want to buy a farm simulator game. I could be a farmer! 🤣

I doubt that this lasts long. Eventually, I’ll know the lingo and I’ll get sick of it, but for now, this is the new thing I’m watching on YouTube when I really should be doing other things. I wonder what will come next?
