(this is just a joke - of course farmwork still has physically demanding parts)

    I work at a farm currently, today I spend a few hours picking rocks off a field after new soil had been spread there.

    While most of the farming itself is done by machines, there’s a lot of maintenance stuff that needs to be done by hand.

      Oh thanks for your insight. I feel the work “rocks” is doing some heavy lifting. I imagine they can be pretty large?

        Something you can fairly easily lift with both hands. For larger ones we use a tractor and bucket, but for smaller ones it’s just more efficient to throw them in the bucket by hand.
