    Does it actually stay local? Pretty sure the local farmers are buying standard issue tractors and equipment from the likes of John Deere.

    Granted, the money has a few stops before making its way into the hands of those mega corps, but it definitely doesn’t stay with small businesses.

      Yeah, that’s why I’m thinking more people who have the education on how to build these things could help in the construction. We wouldn’t have the direct raw materials, but could be done in steps. Just keeping any amount of wealth in the local area is important IMO since otherwise the citied turn into corporate hell with no interest in the actual people living there
