1. I am not wealthy. I am not a farmer; I am a farm-groupie.

does this entail hanging around farmers and trying to get their attentions?

Sustaining and growing

the productivity and income flows from an ag or forest based "family
fortune" is not a walk in the park. Without some love for the land,
respect for the natural processes and people who make it happen, and a
willingness to work, a family cannot hold onto these kinds of assets

over the generations.

I think you're somewhat overdramatizing here, at least in my experience.

Well, yeah.....but there's also generalizing, romanticizing,
aggrandizing, self-congratulating.

No argument with the rest of your premise, however.

Yep. That's all true....sometimes.
