Lots to unpack in this somewhat ranty article, but also some food for thought.

Obviously rural areas need some people involved in agricultural production year round and I never said anything else.

But I do think that it is somewhat of a problem that the majority of the rural inhabitants have very little to do with any of that these days. Add to that the continuing encroachment of sprawling suburbs that destroy valuable farmland and you really have a set of extremely unsustainable living conditions only made possible due to the cheap supply of fossils fuels.
