There are lots of gentleman farms, but I would hardly call those
family farms.


The other weird thing about these rural North Carolina farming towns is you
drive in, and are greeted by a big sign that says "Bienvenido a Sometown,
NC. Población 1280." Then every other building has a Western Union
billboard on it, also in Spanish, and most of the downtown stores have
names like "El Mariachi Gordo" and such.
