Outside of southern plantation owners, they weren’t rich in other parts of the world, more akin to tenant farmers migrating to cities cause pay is so shit than hundreds horses type guys. Big successful farmer before mechanization was somewhat rare

I’m sorry this just is not true. Large landowners and upper class farmers have been a staple of humanity since roughly always.
Fancy lady schools in Germany and Scandinavia at the time of flappers were actually teaching skills like farm household management to old money ladies.
Other skills taught include cleaning carcasses, first aid, cleaning, cooking, and sewing.
The sister on the left can maybe do one of those things, judging by a dressWiki suggests crinoline was also worn by working ladies, but I still doubt farmers would have it
Don’t judge by the dress, even if they were upper class. They were taught “womanly skills” so they’d have an easier time getting them married.
Also, tend farm doesn’t mean “work the fields”, but anything from doing household chores to supervising workers.

a considerable part of human social and technological changes have been centered around “farming fucking sucks, i wish i didn’t have to do it”
