They produce their own fertilizer.

They have no need for gas.

They grow their own feed for their horses and cows.

They have their own sources of milk, pork, cooking fat.

They might run low on oil for their lamps. Wonder if they could use pork fat?

They might have shortages of flour, sugar, cloth, and thread.

If they produce a surplus of food and grain, they have their own transportation system to deliver it.
