If you were a farmer...

This is Texas, its always hot and dry during the growing season - you get used to it.
You can always water plants if its hot and dry, you can't dry them out though if its always cold and wet.

I like the weather where the job is that would support my farm.

I would rather have a bit of global warming than any global cooling (cool wet as you said). Global cooling is disastrous. Global warming merely expands the zone where life can flourish. We can adapt to a bit more heat much more easily than a bit more cold.

i prefer cool weather to hot..my body reacts badly to temps 80 or above..so give me 50 to 80 any day...and here wet is better than dry..about 80 to 90 percent of the crops i grow prefer cool damp weather..chard, kale, beets, cabbage, collards, carrots, lettuces, spinach, broccoli, caiulif, peas, etc..

the ones that NEED to have warm weather can be grown in either the greenhouse with added light if need be or under some kind of protection or up on raised beds that drain well..so i'm always happier with cool and damp weather.

we had a drought up until this week..and now we have rain and standing water, our ponds are back to full and the seeds are growing like gangbusters..i just ate chard out of my garden and have lettuces and onions and herbs all ready to pick, the grass seed i planted last year popped up over the last 2 days..and all is well in my world..they say our high will be back up to around 70 by Tues next week though..but still more rain and snow tonight.

Cool and wet got us the huge mycotoxin problem we have to deal with this year. Not a good situation at all.

Cool rainy spring, hot dry summer.

I wilt in the heat, can't do much farm'en like that.

Cool and Wet. We'd had both. Tough to get grass to grow without rain. No pasture and not much hay due to lack of rain will teach anyone trying to feed a number of livestock and make a living doing so just how much that rain is worth. It's hard to get the hay up right or row crops harvested in the rain, but at least you have a crop. Unless you have the equipment and access to a water source, irrigation is not an option.

Well with what I have raised, give me cool and wet weather any day.. I saw enough hot and dry weather, while serving in the Marine Corps!

Working in fish hatcheries raising salmon and trout, water, water, everywhere.
Now where I am at raising trees/ timber amongst the Coastal Redwoods, it is considered a dry year if it rains less than 40 inches a year.

Greenhouses are our friends here, but I still can't grow tomatoes on the hilltop due to the dense coastal fog!!

If I "HAD" to choose, then I would know what I would be getting. One can't grow much in (continuous) hot dry weather without irrigation, and your question doesn't make any certain provision for that. There are many things one can grow in cool wet weather. It may take some creative soil preparation, but soil can be hilled, terraced, etc., to keep it from getting saturated. With the "too much water" problem eliminated, there are a number of crops grow-able in cool weather.
