A lot depends on the location of the community itself.
A more remote small town has to be more independent than a town closer to a larger city. My home town is a town of 7,000 population 25 miles from Lincoln, the state capitol.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
