Kind of surprised Farming had such a high rate. That lifestyle often includes periods of isolation, and I would think their social interactions are kind of limited, compared to say city-dwellers. Maybe it's because medical care is difficult to access for them?
Medical and rec grows fall under agricultural. The large grow I worked at during 2020 employed around 200 people at that time. Although masks were mandatory, most were working in close quarters daily. Plants don't stop growing, so people are needed to care for and harvest daily. Working from home didn't work, except for upper management and office staff who gladly took the offer.
Thanks for schooling me, folks. It's clear to me now that I was thinking of farming much too narrowly. All I had in mind were small, traditional, family farms, and not large, corporate concerns and their factory farms.
Even healthcare workers had trouble getting enough masks in those early days, but it does seem like that 19% rating shows that masks do work. Nobody was around Covid as much as healthcare workers. All masked all the time mostly.

This has less to do with the silly and largely ineffective mandates as it does with health and lifestyle.
People in rural communities and blue collar jobs index markedly higher for obesity, tobacco, diabetes, etc.
But of course that wasn't a dialogue worth having for the most part.
