What if you have assorted fastening implements that require different affixing tools, but they're all necessary because businesses seeking short-term profit have supplanted families who want the land to be healthy for their children?
That's a fairy-tale story that the farming industry has been pushing around for decades to portray the image of the old-school farmer working dawn to dusk to support the family.
Agriculture hasn't been like that since the dust bowl. And even then, they didn't really care about the "healthy for their children", the dust bowl happened largely due to farmers (mostly small and mid-size by then) overfarming their lands and using deep plowing to overcome top-soil degradation.
Agriculture is a high-risk, capital-intensive industry that benefits dramatically from economies of scale.
Drop the romantic, nostalgic fantasia that so many still carry around farming.
