Agriculture mechanized in the 1920's, and by the 1960's US Federal ag policy was already "get big or get out".

If we are seeing problems in former farm country now, a century later, it suggests people are far less flexible than economists wish they were.

(Fwiw I was just reading a blurb at the feed store about autonomizing both tractors and their attached machinery)
