<<And soon after that a starving farmer, right?>>

Not always. One hand and a hook got most things done.

I remember one young farmer who splashed ammonia when filling a tank. Burned his eyes out. From then on he did the work while his wife did the seeing. Worked as a team for many more years. They're around 80 now and the wife is crippled. I see them in the grocery store, he's pushing the wheelchair and she's giving directions.
