From your link: "85-95 percent of farm household income has come from off-farm sources" which only reiterates how small farm incomes can be, despite the huge amount of capital required to do it. If you have another job then you can possibly have both the income and wealth, but that is not exactly a guarantee for everyone. To add to that, while things may not be so bad right now, your link also shows periods where total farm household income was considerably less than the general population. 'Land rich, cash poor' is very much a thing.
