I remember when this stuff happened, and I didn’t live anywhere near farm country.

Note that I never said the number of such incidents was zero.

I'm sure there have been isolated cases. But like school shootings, farm-related violence incidents get wide coverage exactly because they are rare (given the relatively small number of farmers, they pretty much "have" to be rare) in a country of 300,000,000 population.

The media is quite fond of purveying isolated occurrences taken out of statistical context.
