One thing I learned after moving to a rural agriculture area is how few farmers produce their own food. It just doesn't happen with anyone farming commercially.

We're the weirdos around here with a small herd of dairy cows, pigs, and chickens along with a small-ish garden for ourselves.

Of course. They're far too tired after dealing with the farm all day.

My grandfather managed a pretty large hog ranch back in the day. They still had a garden on the ranch that helped feed most of the families of the people who worked on the ranch.
