I've always found it ridiculous how farmers are considered unskilled. Like just anyone can balance on a moving trailer while throwing hay bailes around. It's just soo easy to take a tractor apart and back together again because a gasket blew. It's so easy to have a biggillion different skills varying from field to field. Literally everyone I know can run a mile while carrying a sailt lick. Farmers are just dumb and untalented. Am I right. /S

Are you confusing farmers with farm labourers? One runs a highly specialist business, one just needs to pick strawberries.

Picking strawberries is hard when your back, feet scream for pain every time.

...and yet, (almost) everyone has a back and a pair of feet. Hence, unskilled. Doesn't matter much if it's Elon Musk, my next door neighbor or some teen from Thailand picking strawberries. The value of their input labour will be the same in this context.
