Maybe some Ultra-Orthodox Jews from the NYC metro area should move south and take up as farmers and shopkeepers. Then again, the wool clothing would be a real pain 6 months of the year.

There are alternatives to wool clothing.
I tend to agree. I am from a very small town in Israel (3400 people) and can barely tolerate the giant shuls in NYC.
There is some very serious need for Kosher involvement in food production at all levels, mainly because non-Jews have realized that its a short-hand way of avoiding some of the frankenfood issues going on.
I think they’d do well in small towns.
