My brother lives on 2 acres in Monmouth County. When he moved there 20
or so years ago, he was surrounded by woods. Now he's surrounded by
townhouses.

I just had a talk with a guy who owns one of the last remaining farms
in New Paltz, NY. He said the neighbors give him poisonous looks,
wishing he would sell so they could build more McMansions.


I live in a rural area of Michigan, my neighbor to the west runs a dairy farm and horse
stable. I don't mind smelling manure when he fertilizes the fields. I'd rather see and
smell those cows and horses than a tract of doublewides.

I only have 10 acres, wish I had more. Not doing a lot with my land other than growing
carbon sinks.

Might be interesting to survey those neighbors opinions on the loss of
the rain forests.

You think they will ever figure out that food comes from
farms? Naaaahhh....
