It is interesting to see how different are things depending on the area of the world. Some things which are saw as completely normal and obvious are not in other areas.
In this chapater:
- Farmers switching the production to something completely different when i is not going well like if it were obvious. That would be strange here as people force themselves to make it work to its last consequences and not risk the loan on switching crops. And in this manga it have shown farmers switching twice the production in a few years.
- The line they use about even lumberjacks using horses. Here even 50 years ago and longer the horses were mainly to pull carts and plough the earth if there were no mules, no mater how deep or up into the mountains. On those few times someone would ride a horse would be to carry an injured person or to use it to travel.
From other chapters there is for example the thing about cutting the cows' horns because it is dangerous and worse for the cows, but here no one would cut the cows' horns, neither on small or industrial cattle farms, ever, and they do not see it as more dangerous than anything else.
