Yeah but nowadays, with the super high yield farming equipment and techniques, it's almost impossible to keep a farm profitable unless the state of the nation is getting entirely fucked to death. So in peace, it's a money drain. No one can afford that rn.

I've just recently read the books by Clay Martin about the state of grain farming in the US, and apparently if someone were to take out the fleet of contractor combine harvesters in case of for example civil war, the entire grain production of the US could stop immediately.

On the one hand, yes, we use our combines intensively - there's not a ton of redundancy, and the same fleet is used through much of the country, moving north w the harvest. OTOH, there's a ton of redundancy built in based on the fact that we eat so much meat, and meat eats grain
