I view small scale dairy farming as a spiritual excercise on entropy and the daily grind required to stave it off. It's basically an intensive intervention of a natural system that viscerally exposes the fickleness of the thermodynamics of land animals and life.

Good distinction, im interested in the non-monastic but heavy duty practice style farming. Marpa is a great example, but perhaps an exception rather than model.
Yes, mahasiddha hagiographies and lineage figures are perhaps best treated loosely as prototype, rather than a direct model we can use, especially given the specific concerns with farming today, and issues surrounding traditional lineages in Westerner contexts, and so on.

I mean, there are next to zero specifics that one could apply, its more at the level of principle & attitude - that people have practiced in various walks of life with good results. Might seem a trivial distinction to make, but it could prevent significant dissonance.
