Farming Ain’t Easy

Look, this was initially meant to be a joke with a Farmer’s Carry reference… then it started to turn into several hundred words about the challenges of urban farming, and then of the challenges of agribusiness economics, and then into global food supply chain inequities… and then I stopped myself, because sometimes you just gotta cut bait.

Follow my example and just get straight into it with the work today. These squat sets are starting to get heavy, so you’ll need the time to warm up to it. Then enjoy this tight little three round WOD which features one of my favorites: the Farmer’s Carry. Being one-sided adds a little frisson that I’m sure you’ll notice.
