I am 18. We farm/ranch 10,000 acres on the plains in Montana. Development is not a problem here except in the moutain regions. I feel your wrath over land develop. On my farm, you can stand on top of a hill and look all around you and see nothing but more farmland, pasture, and the Rocky Mountains. The only buildings you see are other farms.

Our farm is big enough righ now to where 3 people can be kept busy. My father, my uncle, and me.

I learned what I could from my father and hands on experience.

Besides helping on the farm, I also farm about 160 acres by myself with equipment from the 60s and 50s.
