But I think the effect is pronounced in agriculture because of the stereotype that rural = Trump voter = poor moron. I think that few people in SV have a true grasp of the amount of intelligence, electrical and mechanical domain knowledge, and vast wealth in agriculture. There are gobs of farmers worth $10m+, it’s just that in their communities, farmland is higher status than Ferraris or Arcteryx, so they stick with their F-250s and overalls and invest their money into more farmland, growing ever wealthier and more efficient.

Looking now I could find a used New Holland combine from 2005 for $71000 USD. That money gets you a used 2000-ish Ferrari 360. And the combine makes you more money after you buy it.
