I've lived in some of the counties in the south under 100% reliance and let me assure you outside of the major cities many are only under 100% due to crippling poverty. I can't tell you how many people I've know in my life thay have had to walk 2 hrs one way to a shitty low paying job at a gas station or dollar general.
Do farmers depend on cars to get to work?
No. Because farmers are quite wealthy. We've had more than a century of farm consolidation. Farming is only profitable at a large scale. Only the wealthy can afford to be farmers.
Truthfully there aren't that many people whose full time job is just "farmer". But those that are usually all have cars anyway.
