It's called either "burning the midnight oil", or more probably, "burning the candle at both ends". I watched my dad do it with a dairy farm in the '50's- milked 40 cows at about 4:30 AM (I'm pretty sure of the time, because I had to get up and go round them up in the pasture), then work an 8 hour day as a carpenter. Primary incentive to do this is the fact that most farmers would rather be farmers than their day job, and hope things will get profitable enough that they can quit the day job. For some, it does; for most, it doesn't. I wanted to be a farmer until well into my late 30's, but now, am glad I gave up the dream. I'd have just gone broke, like everyone else around here.
