Comedian Drew Hastings moved from L.A. to Ohio to become a farmer and is making a documentary about his experiences. It’d almost be offensive if it wasn’t so funny:

Last year Drew sold five calves for $3500.

Raising those calves cost him $3000.

Once, while my dad and I were taking care of a dead calf, I asked him why he chooses to farm when it takes so much effort for so little payoff, and he said, “Well, because I like it.” Oh, farmers.
