heres why
Knew that was coming, the last photo. I did a lot of the same when I worked in NJ, same red clay soils too. Ran a brand new D6 LGP like that one too, I have a photo of it somewhere. 1st comes the silt fence, then the dozers and scrapers, & giant piles of topsoil. Bet they will regret starting site work this time of year, last big one I worked on it was a real mess until the end of April. I always hated tearing up old ag land just the same, crossed a grain. We may not live to see it but I will bet every old field and every square inch of NJ will eventually be dotted with homes.
Several decades ago, I went to a farm auction 100 miles north of me, on the west side of the Twin Cities.
That was a very dairy area, 40 milk cows and 160 acres, farm after farm back in the day. Driving there was a big swath carved out, and instead
of a dairy farm there was dozens of town homes, can't remember if duplexes or quads. Row after row, ever one looked the same, the same
exact outline, each one was the exact same beige.
My eyes about welled up. It looked so horrid. Who would want to drive home after a day's work to that and call it home? How would you even
know which one was yours, lost in a square maze of sameness.
I know farms get bigger, and the city moves out, that is progress like it or not.
But that was just such an aweful sight.
The farm sale I was going to, everything but the farm yard was dozed up, they said at the sale of you were removing the silo unloaded or bulk
tank or the like it didn't matter if you damaged anything as it was all going to be leveled in 2 weeks anyhow.
