Up here in the mountains of Schoharie Co., NY, there are thousands of stone walls. Over the years, farmers down in the valleys have buried them or hauled them away to gain a lot more tillable land.
A few years ago, there was an outfit that came in with big semi trucks and bought many stonewalls here locally to be sold, I assume, for stonewalls being built at newer homes. That was a win-win deal for everybody.
Many of the farms up on the hills lost most of their good soil to erosion and many were bought by the NY State in the 30s and 40s for reforestation. When you walk around through the woods here, you will often stumble upon beautiful stone walls and house and barn foundations right out in the "middle of nowhere".
I took my dog for a walk last week to an old farmstead that I have visited many times over the years to take some more pictures of the stonewalls there.
