It increasingly seems the way to survive is to buy a farm.

Not sure subsistence farming is going to be that much better than being someone's client.

I don't know where you got that idea from.

Farming itself is increasingly mechanized, and requires lots of capital.  Now some farmers are getting by on being "artisanal", but then you're as much a marketing company as you are a farmer.

Getting the startup money will be the problem.
But once that's done with the right robots and renewables you should be able to support yourself.
The only problem as I see it is the raw materials for the 3d printer that makes the spare parts.

What's not to get?
In a hyper automated future you sit in your farm house watching TV whilst your solar powered robit/robot serfs plow your vast acres.
They follow standard practice of holding some of the crop for replanting in the following year and all you really have to worry about is some part of the machine breaking down.

Heh, I wonder if at the end of it all we'll go back to XVIIIth century Physiocracy and only the possession of raw materials and agricultural products will hold real economic value.

I look forward to sitting on the veranda sipping lemonade while my robots pick the cotton.

Ah, magnolias.

Ahhh, Lettow's niggerbots. But they are supposed be be on his space ark or something.

Sounds like something from Rifts.

Ahhh, Lettow's niggerbots.

More Than Meets The Eye!

The hardest part will be programming the whipping bot.
