[1] This HadIth indicates that the profession of cultivation is often a source of oppression and humiliation especially under the feudal system. By indulging in this work, one may neglect Jihád in Allah's Cause and other important Allah's obligations. It is also said that this Hadith is concerned with those living near the enemies: If they got busy in agriculture and left Jihád, the enemies might overcome and humiliate them. Of course, the Hadith should not be taken literally. Farming is not undesirable itself but we should beware the results of indulging too much in it. (Fath Al-Bari, Vol 5, Page 402).
