The old time methods are still being done out in the rural areas.
As example: My brother in law rasies chickens for the eggs. He sells the excess eggs his family does not use for .50 a dozen. He bales hay. He gives the land owners a percentage of the hay baled off their land and he sells the rest. The guy owning the farm next to him is a mechanic and keeps all BIL equipment running in exchange for free bushogging. In the spare time, BIL has a garden and sells off the crops that family members does not get for free. Last year he got over $1200 from a man that brought a truck in to get watermelons. The man loaded them and all BIL had to do was put the money in his pocket.
