In the US, according to USDA, the median total family income for a farming family is ca $108k

Which is a huge amount over the median all family income in the US of 83k. So in that sense farmers are richer than average Americans.

I would not say $1-$2k/mo extra income counts as a huge amount richer. It’s like 58th percentile by family income. I don’t really think it makes sense to call solidly middle class income rich in any sense…
