You did so more succinctly with actual practice.
I have very close farmer friends near Paris, TN.
Mennonites manage their land. Close to the ground mentality.
Have determined what has happened did so because it did. The best, most expedient, choice.
Mistakes have been corrected over time.
People respond with better planning or to emergency.
The long view or quick ROI.
Read some years ago about some upheaval in Europe where modern farming technology was stressed by economic instability.
Turns out, in Lithuania, many farms still used animals for plowing et al. They continued to manage.
My complaint is the pursuit of passive income is a detriment to human harmony. Wisdom might hint that an actual participation in the business would be far more rewarding than egotistically managing from afar.
Then again, I can't imagine the rewards of narcissism.
