My grandfather had a cane farm and he handed it down to two of my uncles (my dad is the only male in the very extended family not in the farming business). They are not close to the mega farm you describe, but they do pretty well for themselves, at least for what the lifestyle they lead. I have never seen more humble lifestyles. I have an uncle that can afford to buy a fishing boat cash, but will build the camp himself rather than pay unnecessary money. My Grandparents can loan out money for houses, yet my grandma will wash a Ziploc bag. I've heard people relate it to the fact that they grew up during the depression, but for the most part, they've handed the lifestyle down to their children and everyone seems to do well, even the one's who aren't breaking the bank with income.
