One of the most enjoyable and educational shows I’ve watched in a while. Hilarious characters who demonstrate how difficult and thankless farming can be.

Some things I’ve learned:

• How a cultivator works
• How exact tractor rows need to be
• How heavy rain or weeks of drought affect the farming schedule
• The many regulations farmers face — from registering each field with its crops, to sanitrary requirements, to land use regs
• How necessary government subsidies for farming are, especially for less hearty crops

After a year of dawn to dusk tractoring, Season 1 ends with an unbelievably slim profit margin. Very worth a watch.
