Agreed. While many of them likely couldn't read, they were just as human as we are and many likely had more experience and passed-down knowledge for practical living and surviving off the land.
TFR has been below replacement in the US since the 70's. In the same period of time, the country has grown by about 80 million. It's mass importation of the third world driving up housing prices and reducing effective wages, as predicted by any supply-demand curve theory of housing and labor. Boomers started their professional lives at the start of the mass importation of third worlders and before offshoring had hit the tech sector (it had already wiped out textiles). Boomers give you ridiculous advice that can't possibly work because their formative experiences were from a nation and a world before globalization and mass immigration.
Medieval peasants would grow crops, process the crops, take the crops to market, make all their food from scratch with what they grew/foraged themselves and sometimes bought at market or traded for, and many were skilled craftsmen who made trade goods in their free time or during the colder months when you couldn't farm. They'd also likely have had something like chickens around and some of them even more livestock. Fishing if they lived near a river or lake. For a lot of them this was subsistence rather than profit. You had to work with the seasons and weather. It's all much more involved skill sets than people think. Again, a lot of them were skilled tradesmen too.

"Many"? "Likely"? No, I think it's safe to just flat-out state that they did have more experience and passed-down knowledge on these matters, on account of the fact that their survival depended on passed-down knowledge and surviving off the land.
