What do all the people do (for work) in rural area towns and unincorporated areas?

Drove hundreds of miles through some very rural New England, USA today. Most areas were very nice with well kept homes and cute, small city centers (mostly only a couple of brick, commercial buildings).

What do people do for jobs out in the "middle of nowhere"? As an engineer who works closer to city areas where more jobs exist, I just can't fathom what people are doing for jobs out there? How is everything paid for?

Edit: I should clarify there's minimal farm land out in rural New England. So, not very many farmers at all.

Don't let trees grow close to your septic system

People who lived in the house before us let a dozen trees grow for 30 years to become 30+ ft tall about 5ft from the septic system (and to make it even more fun, into the power lines along our driveway).

Not having an acute problem at the moment but they've got to come down before there is a huge problem.

And I'm bitter about it because it's going to be a huge PiTA or big dollars to pay for help.

I'm trying to browse lemmy.world from another instance to reduce load, but it's a completely different experience?

Any post in a lemmy.world community I view from another instance (e.g. programming.dev) shows different content than when viewing from lemmy.world directly. Many comments are missing. There seems to be a massive lag, sometimes more than 1 day. Are instances really that far out of sync? It's hard to contribute from another instance knowing that nobody will see my comments for ~days
