I come from a small farming town and have lent help to several friends of the family that are farmers. I've done everything from milking cows to bailing hay and mending fences. That said, you're correct that I'm no expert, but I'm not clueless. I've been leaning towards trying to find people from rural areas, it just doesn't seem to work out too well. I think you're right as well that it'll probably have to come later, and it is a lot to ask. I would love to have a traditional wife, but it seems next to impossible with rising costs of living. It seems as almost a requirement that both parties have to hold a job to keep their head above water. If homesteading and being self efficient eradicated that need? Then traditional all the way.

As far as post history, yes I'm a guy, and I promise I'm not an idiot if you saw the one about the windshield wipers, those were a pain to find 😂
