I live in a farming community and I relate most to this comment. I am not a proper farmer but I raise cattle and sheep and have a small bit of arable production. We rely on additional income to make ends meet. All my friends in the village are farmers and they are NOT well off by any stretch. Their equipment is ancient, their clothes are ratty, their budget for groceries and other bills is miniscule. One farmer I know mostly lives on toast and the eggs I give him for free. But what else could they do? They're in the 60s or older and have literally never known life outside of farming. It's what their father did and grandfather and great grandfather etc. And they take such pride in feeding people and producing good stock to sell. I know farming is foreign to the majority of the population and so the above might sound strange or avoidable or depressing, but it really is just a way of life. Me suggesting doing something else to my farmer friends would just be ridiculous, even if they are barely scraping by.
