I've lived in small towns most of my life, I know more farmers and ranchers than anyone, and in short there isn't much that can be done. They vote for politics that support large corporations and deregulation which allows them to be beat up by larger conglomorates. They fight innovation to the point that new technology isn't adopted till a son takes over. But most of all, the one thing that would likely make them more profitable would be to go towards a higher quality but lower quanity crop (like going organic) but they fight that too. Right now rural america is basically subsidised by the cities and has 3x the voting power of those who live in them. This model isn't sustainable unless the three things listed above start to change. But they won't.
