farmers ... friend or foe.

[Tartar Horde]

Farmers are a close knit bunch of folk, who really practice the ultimate form of prepping, that of being self sufficient. They also tend to be somewhat "outside" of normal society, as very few City dwellers will ever meet one, or even understand the world he comes from. In any serious breakdown they will band together quite quickly in their local area, and are the best placed to utilise these resources because they have all the machinery, tools and know how. A good thing to remember is that while a small percentage of the city population have firearms, 100% of farmers do!!
