I have noticed a lot of the most popular games lately have been farming based games. Either on Facebook or iPad I get requests to play or ads popping up asking me if I want to play. The thing is, I have a little hobby farm and I would not call it fun! The small-scale dealing with animals and all the waste they make has never been discussed at my house as fun. I pay a lot of money for food, shots, vets and other things and in return I get mounds of animal waste. Mine is on a small-scale, I can’t imagine a large-scale farm being anything but hard work. Are we so removed from what it is really like to live on a farm that we romanticize it? I am not saying that farmers don’t love what they do or even that I wouldn’t like to have one. What I want to know is what are farmers playing? After working all day in the fields do they go home and play civilization? I would imagine that the last thing a farmer would do is watch a little meme smile away as rows of food just appear and animals never need to be cleaned up after.
