    Farms only need like 2-20 people to work em, not a great source of jobs

    You could provide regular buses to nearby towns fairly cheap, depending on the geography. Then people could live in your community and commute to other ones where the jobs are.

      Some do, some don’t. Non mechanized crops require tons of manual labor that is paid at sub minimum wage during harvest.
      We could think of ways to use more people by expanding it to more than simply growing food. Perhaps a coop that sells the food too? But yeah not perfect.
