I've never gotten the whole "poor farmer" thing. I grew up in a small Ohio town, and the wealthiest people in town were always the farmers. Heck, the other local industries (Steel, Automotive) have declined or disappeared altogether, but farming remains strong.

But the public perception persists. Why?
