Never cared much for grits but okra is ALWAYS in my garden. About the horse thing; I rode a lot more than I cared for in my youth. Herding cattle in the summer is hot dirty business. When horses get cabs and air conditioning and heating, I might get interested again. New models always have steering and brake problems. Looking for newborn calves in the winter was never pleasant either.
farm is leased out now. Other people are enjoying that glamorous lifestyle.
