with nature is good, but do organic farming, otherwise one can be a farmer and still go on raping nature. Do organic farming -- cooperate with nature; don't be the enemy, don't exploit. Be in tune with nature and you will gain much... may not be much financially but much spiritually. Financially you can exploit nature more by mechanical, chemical means, but spiritually you lose.

One can almost become a buddha by just really becoming a reader of the book of nature; then no other book is needed.
So that's very good... and now you are a sannyasin -- you will be a real farmer. Nothing like it! You will never be a rich man but that is not needed at all. Mm? you will be a poor man but inside you will be tremendously enriched.
