PS... No offense!

Allllll my relatives until we get to my parents, were farmers.

Lots and lots of people were farmers before Industrialization, and even for a time afterward. The family farmers were MADE to leave, for corporate farming to take over. THAT was a huge mistake for the People. I'm talking about the US, now. I suspect it was similar in many countries, and especially after WWII.

There's a terrific farmer/writer named Wendell Berry, who wrote a book about the undoing of American farmers and farms... "The Need To Be Whole." It's not ONLY about farmers and such, but it's a great book. He's a great writer.
