Let's review our assumptions:


 * A large number of asteroids varying between Chelyabinsk and Tunguska shoot up the planet. The results are rather like many random air burst nukes.
 * There's no radiation but large sections of the country, including the protagonist's home town, are flattened.
 * The protagonist used to live in farming country, with corn fields.

If the world just ended and I am going to be struggling for survival and all my buddies are preppers with firepower to spare, I know exactly what I would do. I'd go and take nearly uninhabited farmland. Why not? You'll need room to grow. Better to hold it now when everything is disorganized. That way you can make yourself into the king of Podunk County, Alabama. Heck, you might even take some people as slaves to work the land.

Our protagonist may have been chased off his own farm. He may encounter other would be kings along the way.
