It's is very essential to farm now because without farm produce most people will stay hungry and the rate of crime will increase.
During the corona virus, so many persons travelled to their villages for farming, and I can tell you that during that period, lots of people discovered their potentials, some persons whom I know that they don't like farming ventured into farming, because it was the only way to survive, but I can tell you now that till date, those people still do farm work because they have seen the benefits of farming.
Sure, there is a lot of benefit in farming but most people sees it as stress. There are some people that vow never to farm but they get to a certain point where they don't have any other options than to go into farming and after spending some years into this farming system then they realize how important it is to farm, that is why even when they bounce back to thier normal condition they still maintain the farming. I have seen rich people coming back from the city during farming season to farm. This are those who are already used to farming even before they decided to move to the city, this set of people there is nothing you can do to deprive them from going to the village to farm during farming season Because they know the importance.
