Not sure how many here grew up on farms.
Coming from southern California "city" gal, I never really knew farmers.
After the harvest season, how do o farmers spend the several months before they can any again?

I grew up on a small farm. There was always something to do. Maybe not super urgent, but there were always projects that kept us busy.
Even as a gardener, there is always planning ahead and such like.

I'll soon have time to catch up with things around the house. Cleaning, repairing, mending, piles of papers to go through...

I grew up working around dairy farms.
There is never an off-season.

Take vacation. Repair and maintain equipment.
