“Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower

Simplified Meaning:
It's easy to think a job looks simple when you're not the one doing it. Imagine a person who works in an office, far away from a farm. They might think farming is simple because all they do is read about it or watch videos. However, actually working on a farm is much harder than it seems. Farmers wake up early, take care of animals, grow crops, and deal with bad weather. It's tough work that requires a lot of physical effort and knowledge. This quote reminds us that we shouldn't judge how hard someone else's job is until we've tried it ourselves. So, before we say something is easy, we should understand what it truly involves.
