I worked on a farm all throughout my teens and can fully vouch for this, they adopt technology fast and truly understand capital outlay far more than the majority of small to medium enterprises (at least in the UK), as they pay for the majority of investment out of their own money rather than taking risks with other peoples money, there are however some things that distort this such as the EU CAP subsidies and regulations which lock out other markets, so they are operating in a little bit of a vacuum
It however provided a good grounding for me as you worked 60-100 hour weeks at harvest time and it was physically exhausting but mentally boring, nowadays what I do is physically easy but mentally exhausting, both however are difficult in very different ways but necessary for a healthy economy.
