You got every right to gripe. I fall in between you and those you complain of. I recently acquired about 30 acres. I grew up on much the same. My nearest neighbor is a couple hundred yds away, the next a half mile. I don't want any more. I have three young boys and they need more room than a back yard to run and grow in, like I did. I'd love to have more but it costs too much. Even ag land costs $2000-$5000 an acre unless you can find a whole, multi hundred acre place, again thanks to your city..."friends." So I can't be a farmer. I can't walk in your footsteps. But I value the same things you value. I'll raise my hay and run some cows and teach my boys to "ride, shoot straight and tell the truth." And yes I'll claim ag discounts and tax breaks where I can. I'd be a fool not to.
