You missed my point entirely.

You assume that there would be an infrastructure collapse to the point where the energy economy cannot sustain post-Borlaug farming.

That won't happen unless the disruption happens so instantly that the energy sector doesn't have time to backslide to Victorian era technologies that could sustain it (like bringing back coal gasification for example).

You don't get the yeoman farmer back unless the entire energy sector is an instant smoking crater. And even that will only be temporary.
