Everything seems glamorous on the outside-- remember the saying "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Hire out on a dairy farm and maybe give the farmer a week of vacation (after you learn the ropes and he trusts you enough). He will enjoy the vacation because dairy farming is a 24/7/365/rest of your life type of job! Be realistic with the real comitment this job is! As for farmers being in farming for the lifestyle and not looking at it as a business, many farmers are the greatest businessmen you will ever find. No farmer can help the prices which are the basic reason they are going bankrupt. And farmers don't need big professors in universities telling them what they do or did wrong, just as the same bigshot professors don't need farmers telling them what they do or did wrong. Moral of story is farmers know what's best for themselves, not an ignoramous looking in the window. Same goes for every profession... Oh yeah, just a note, farmers aren't going to destroy the environment, because their livelihood depends on it. We care about the environment more than anyone else(and are usually more knowledgable about it too).
