I dunno, I think we got it pretty easy compared to how things used to be. Farm living ain't exactly sedentary, unless you think working 12 hours a day 7 days a week doing a lot of dirty, sweaty, back and joint grinding work is a light load, then doing a couple hours of financial work at night after supper, or else tearing into the tractor to fix whatever broke so it'll be ready to go tomorrow, or helping Betsy throw her calf at 2:00 am. At least that's what my uncle tells me life used to be like before he moved to the city and got a job, and retired from farming.
