I already said that, although we disagree on whether it is most or just some. All the farmers I have met were living very very comfortably. None had a supercar but they all had toys. Brand new pickups, horses, 4 wheelers, high end rifles, and tools the rest of us could only dream of having in a garage. Granted they work a lot but these days its common for everyone.
You have to remember that a farmer can write most of those "toys" off as legitimate business expenses.
