Agriculture is 4% of the world economy, but only 0.6% of the US economy. It is a much larger percent of poorer counties' economies, because they do not produce much more than food.
This is not my "delusional value system", this is the market. Food is important, but it is also produced in great quantities for cheap prices. If a farmer decides to raise his prices, there are a dozen others willing to sell in his place for the original price. Farmers desperately need the rest of the economy to produce profitable quantities of food. That is the reason they are often in deep debt, because they need the rest of the economy.
Besides, I doubt you are a farmer. Most rural people have nothing to do with farming. They live in rural areas, because they cannot afford to live in more urban areas.
