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.

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?

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
