If you stay on a farm, I've read that's because you are dumber than those who left. I live in a lower density area which feels rural, but I'm only 15 minutes from two small cities (~30,000). This is Connecticut after all... I'm just beyond the edge where the terrain is given up to woods or farmland. The nearest real grocery store is an 8 mile drive. Gardens are a big thing out this way as the town is very blue collar and people are trying to save money.
