Answer 2

" Farming looks mighty easy when your plough is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the cornfield. "

• The above quote supports the idea of " Farming is a profession of hope" as it depicts a scene where a farmer feels that farming is an easy job when he has a pencil as his tool for ploughing and he is in a cornfield of thousands of miles. The points in the quote show the hopeful nature of farmers when in reality they are in a difficult spot.
• The pencil as a tool for ploughing shows a weak tool to help him plough the field.
• Cornfields have hard soil and are usually difficult to plough.
• Also, the field is thousands of miles more than where he is right now.
• Even with all these difficulties, the farmer thinks that it is easy to plough ahead.

Therefore this quote shows the hopefulness of the farming profession.

The correct answer is (c)
