They're not joking, nor are they mad... They just don't realise our skillset is valuable. They just see our punching on our keyboard and nothing physically gets produced so they think "i can do this, it's more of a hobby, why would i pay anybody for this". Offcourse, our skillset also takes years to develop, it's not free, it's not our hobby either... But hey, that's just not how we are perceived.

That is because nowadays everyone does websites, everyone can install a theme or a shopping cart, when you on a freelancer websites there are hundreds and thousands working for pennies, so itr's normal for a lot of people when they see this amount of offers to lower the price they are willing to pay.
When you get quotes from people from Asia for websites in a few hundred $ it's quite impossible to pick a westerner for 2000$, isn't it?

Yep, it's a nightmare. But I'm not sure about moving from IT to agriculture would be a good idea because both require different skills, plus you will need more capital. Well, it depends on you, do you have enough motivation to learn and start from zero?

Agriculture as in surviving, or agriculture as in surviving and earning a bit to buy stuff above clothes and light bulbs level?
The first can be done by almost everyone if you have land and it's not really shitty rocky or mostly clay soil or in a real extreme weather region.
Second, that's whole different stuff altogether, the basic knowledge you learn from Wikipedia or discovery is not going to help you.

And since we're talking about agriculture and people like to think of basic survival agriculture as having a few animals on their farm let me tell you this..
Animals don't know it's Sunday, animals don't know it's X-mas or easter, they don't take weekends off they don't take holidays, they don't give a damn it's your birthday or it has just snowed. At 6 o'clock, you'd better be fully awake and strat feeding them and giving them fresh water, and then....oh god...prepare to clean..! It might be your birthday but the first present you're going to get will be a load of crap!

Back to the nightmare the OP is claiming is upon us...Sorry but I don't see any.
I don't know from what part of Europe you are but here things are slowly back to normal. Another apocalypse avoided.
