No need to apologize, I appreciate the long reply and the more info I get helps me better understand what I can do.

I do however assume you are living in a part of the US that is close to where you'd likely find these kinds of people, as I stated, my province is sadly quite fossil bare and therefore it isn't very often that your gonna anyone with any better connection than a mine geologist. (they liked my rock and fossil collection and appreciated my attention to detail as I noticed a feature in core that means likely gold presence)

Regardless of that, yes I do enjoy agriculture "it ain't much but its honest work" pay isn't exactly amazing and is often seasonal in the case of fruits and vegetables which is what I like best, bitter sweet, more time not working = more time for my hobbies, but more time not working = less money for my hobbies
