Describe the bug
Pandas has nice and interesting new data types. The hope was that we'd be able to convert strings to ints while also having those ints cohabit with null data types.

We have a bit of a circular problem. Ints and Nulls can live together if int is IntegerDType but this datatype does not like to convert strings. The current work around is to do

df[col].astype('float').astype(pd.Int16Dtype())

as discussed in this issue: pandas-dev/pandas#25472

Let's keep on following the issue and for now I'll disable casting
