They should continue doing this.

Whatโ€™s the difference between Vanceโ€™s career and real success at solving rural problems? Itโ€™s the difference between reality and fantasy. In farming, success doesnโ€™t come from vibes or a best-selling life story. It comes from doing the work, even when itโ€™s hard.

My thoughts on the hazards of depending on "rural vibes":
