I know you feel like this is a ridiculous scenario, and while this particular scenario is ridiculous, whether you believe it or not, farmers help each other out literally all the time.
I'm not a great welder so I'll get my neighbor to weld this up for me.
We're branding the calves today, we need the whole family and 3 or 4 neighbours to help out.
I'll get my neighbor to run his combine for me this harvest and I'll watch his cows this winter while he's away.
The cows got out onto my neighbours field but he chased them back in for me and helped me fix the fence.
All real life scenarios from my experiences, and the list goes on. None of which are paid for, except with meals and/or beer.
It is a different situation, whether you guys like it or not. Be as condescending and know-it-all as you want, but you don't understand life on a farm, how farms operate, what kind of insurance farmers already have.
