 Suffered a head injury, considering farming as a career. Any thoughts/tips?

I was in a car accident about a year ago. I think I may have hit my head and haven't been much the same since.
I was considering going into farming as a kind of hobby career choice. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I may be looking too much into it. But from my experience, plants do a lot of the work themselves. Especially with an irrigation system.
 yey or ney

It can be expensive to do right, but you can make a fair amount of money doing it.
Do you have land? Any agricultural experience, even a small garden?
I know of three local farms, two of which are small scale but productive operations. One has sheep and chickens and produces veggies, eggs, and some great fungal dominant compost. The other has about 4 greenhouses and produce veggies for the local food coop and farmers market. They also produce honey, as well as maple syrup. It's busy work, but if that doesn't bother you, you should be able to make a few bucks at it.
The nice part is you can start as small as you want, and scale up as you go.
Another thing to consider is that there are often grants available for small farmers. We actually got one for a nice big greenhouse, but a few years after we put it up, when I went away for college, it collapsed under the snow load

I have experience gardening on a small scale. Sadly though, my future, looks like this:
Thank you kindly for the advice, it cheered me up. Sorry to hear about the greenhouse too.
