The only way I see any starvation scenario in this country, or any developed country is if there is a major war or massive civil unrest, or some sort of plague. A few years ago a milestone was reached on earth, there are now more obese people on the planet than ones who are starving.
As far as tractors, the current tractors will be repairable using 3D printers and reverse engineering the parts and electronics. Look at the new parts that can be bought for 60's and 70's cars.
As far as the new tractors in the future, someone earlier made the comment that the low hanging fruit had been picked. Probably a good metaphor. I foresee diesel/LP/CNG-electric tractors. With an electric motor for each drive wheel, think of the traction control that you could have. Infinite speed at each wheel at any time. No gear transmissions. I think one of the biggest Cat dozers is a diesel-electric right now.
Drone/remote controls machines will be commonplace.
