If he wants to trade produce he will need manual labour, and if that means allowing people to live on his land then he will do so. He will have to make sure his workforce is strong, so hunting and a share of the crops will be given as pay. It's been done like this before.
I have the same take on this as you Steve.
If diesel is not available large scale agriculture will be impossible.
Dray horses are few and far between, and the old ploughs and farrows made to be pulled by true horse power have also disappeared.
That only leaves manpower and hand tools. Human powered agriculture, will not be pretty.
