When I got old enough to gather eggs from the chicken coop, helped Dad raise meat rabbits too. and do chores we didn't own a farm but when I reached 13 yrs I was working for my uncle , and he and three other farm owners in the area helped each other to make sure the 100- 350 acre parcels were all [plowed planted harvested}
I worked at all of then till they "wanted to see me in uniform" Least that's what the letter said .
During that time I was in the FFA and raised a steer for a project. Learned how to set up and contour fields . we even made a field trip to teachers farm to get hands on docking sheep, and Neutering his calves, and pigs. ( Razor blade, and banding.)

I ran it also. today's technology and standards I don't consider my self to be a farmer.

I'd much rather have food growed in cow Poop than some of the chemicals used now.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
