Yes, farm sets are great at getting rid of mains noise, and when the power is off over a wide area they perform well, at least the couple that I have used do. I have a nice Viking (Phonola) A+B set here that is a fabulous receiver, but ..... being a battery set doesn't help under normal circumstances during the day, when the RF noise is so loud.
We have no AM stations around here....none. During the day on AM all I get is noise, but as the sun approaches the horizon at dusk, the noise diminishes and the bands come alive with all manner of AM stations, from LF beacons to the pulpit pounders on SW.
