The basic loop
Find active farmland, take the available work, and finish one full cycle before comparing it with another job. Save the first earnings instead of immediately upgrading cosmetics.
Field work naturally creates scenes with landowners, merchants, travelers, and other laborers. Conversation is part of the value of the role.
Where farming can lead
Use steady income to secure simple housing, better clothing, or stock for a future stall. A farmer can remain a respected local character or grow toward artisan, merchant, retainer, and political stories.
