Just got back from Rice Lake Wi.(NW Wisc) a farming area. I was noticing the many farms and also the amount of old negelected barns in the area. At one time these were dairy farms that families were raised on. Many were good sized barns that milked 30, 40 and more head. It's a shame that these farms can't make it unless they milk large amounts of cows. I hate to see these barns going to seed just sitting there. I'm ashamed that our gov't can't and won't help the American Farmer. We helped out the auto industry, we give millions to gov'ts that hate us and our way of life. I'm 60 years old and I remember seeing lots of farms out there making a living and raising a family on 200 acres of land. The kids that want to farm can't get in to it very easily today....... Maybe I'm just to old and wish for things the way it used to be. Just to set the record straight I was not raised on a farm or have I ever farmed. I just hate seeing those old barns and a way of life going away....................
