That's been going on forever it seems. Had a guy move here from Detroit 40 plus years ago,gonna cut a fat hog in the arse raising hogs while he worked as a teacher. His first mistake was thinking his city wife would and could hold down the fort while he was gone all day. Didn't do any good for anybody to offer to help him. Even something like buying a tractor. I offered to help him find one,but nope. He found an old JD A. He bought that one because it was a Deere and he knew anybody could work on it. Yea right. that tractor never made it to the field.
Got another one who moved out here to his Grand dad's 40 acre farm. At first he was going to milk a few cows while keeping his job 50 miles away. That never got any farther than him milking a few by hand before he'd leave for work in the mornings. Then he tried a few beef cows,but he was breeding heifers too young and too small and loosing all of his calves. He finally gave it up. He still lives there,but nobody works the ground. He made the same mistake with a tractor. I had a nice Ferguson 30 that I wanted to sell about the time he moved up here. He didn't want it. Said if I wanted to sell it,there must be something wrong with it,so he came home one night dragging a trailer with an old open flywheel A with a rattle can paint job. No better than the one the first guy bought.
But yea,the whole "I'm going to be organic and natural" thing takes most of'em out right from the start these days. I was thinking about that from a post somebody had on here yesterday. With Roundup ready technology,the availability of older no-til equipment at a fair price so you don't need a real big tractor,it should be easier than ever for the inexperienced to grow a decent crop but they let their politics get in the way.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
