      … subsistence farming is considerably more work than hunting-gathering, and the first three points about work apply. The only point that doesn’t apply is the last one about mobility of property.

        Actually Im not sure that its more work.

        It depends where you live.

        And more work isnt bad if stress from work bothers you anyways so you cant relax

              Do you have any idea what subsistence farming entails?

              Do you have any idea what non subsistence farming entails?

                  Subsistence farming consists of working from sunup to sundown most of the year, relying on the labor of the entire family, not just the farmer or head of household and spouse. In exchange, you experience slightly more food security than a hunter-gatherer, and considerably more labor, with intermittent famines to remind you just how close you always are to starvation and death.

                  Even in modern farming, numerous labor laws (such as about overtime and child labor) don’t apply precisely because of the extreme need of labor in traditional farming operations.
