Oh for sure some make a meager income living in town. That is generally because of life decisions. And don't hand be that garbage about where they live. The bus runs every day. They have the ability to relocate.
But farming on a small scale generally doesn't make much money. And most small farms don't produce enough for 2 families. So that means your new small farmer is going to be a start up operation. You take a farm kid, who's been working hard for many years by the time they are 18. Tell em they gotta go out on their own and most are not going to even think about farming.
Seems to me that while the fast food places have been loosing market share for decades with people opting to dine in batter places. I'll go hungry before I stuff that garbage from a buck menu in my face. And there are a lot of folks besides me saying that too. As far as a sit down place going out of business? Happens all the time. You have to have the population with the income to support such places. I can't remember the last time I ate fast food. More and more people are going elsewhere anymore.
Nope My older tractors are 1948/49 year model. Some parts are NLA and have been that way for years. What happens is they have to pay to warehouse things. So they don't make huge production runs on much of the older stuff. Then they price to make a profit. It hits a point where they are not selling enough parts for a particular machine to continue production. I have a tractor from 1965 that the exhaust manifold is NLA. That's for a Farmall too. So the companies have an option. Make parts for them old tractors or make the parts NLA forcing the owner into a newer or new tractor.
