No, it is not. If it were, more people would be in agriculture, less people would leave the industry, and all farmers would not want for money. Farming isn’t just planting and harvesting and selling one’s crops. It involves planning along all stages and working with uncertainties like soil health, water availability, climate and weather, fluctuating prices, market demand, theft, pests, and so on. It can be physically exhausting as well. Once you realize how much work goes into one onion, one garlic, or even the sprig of coriander that adorns your food that you immediately shunt off to the side, and how little the farmer gets paid for it, your heart will break. This is probably why most people would rather proclaim their opinions about farming instead of actually learning about the conditions farmers face.
