I agree on the hand stuff, for sure. Land is a bit more dubious since yeah, you might need time to learn when, say, a particular fruit is at its prime, or where to mine for a particular ore, but these are things that can be taught. For instance, as a farmer, if you are told when the season to pick apples is, you know when to expect to see them as being at their ripest (I know I may be simplifying things but the fact is, that is more or less how it works).
Actually making something FROM said apples, however--knowing how long to cook them to get the taste that is right, or developing a particular kind of stitch that is stronger than another. Learning how to stitch very quickly, or how to effectively cut corners without actually losing quality--these are things that a craftsman must learn more or less on their own.
