Right, and that's another reason city folk would move out to the countryside to find work on farms- it's the only way they're going to eat, given the issues in food distribution that go along with the drastic reduction in fossil fuel availability (to the civilian, market especially).
The Germans also made use of POWs and conscripted civilian laborers from among those that they conquered. By 1945, most German farms in Prussia counted on this source of labor since so many German men had been conscripted into the armed forces.
I also think agriculture is a major driver behind the development of the cantonment system. Military units need to control farming areas so that they can eat and brew fuel. Civies need protection from hostile soldiers and bandits and what-not. Hence, there's a return to feudalism. The local military unit provides protection, the local civies provide food and labor. The military gets the better end of the deal, but then feudalism was always like that.
