They won’t be able to make the machines that the farmers use to farm their 
crops. There would be no electricity generation or fuel supply, no 
manufacturing of farmhouses, no laying of roads for the trucks to supply 
feed and fertilizer and seed and take away produce. Nobody to pay the 
farmers. Nobody to educate them on how to grow their crops.

The whole system collapses.
