I saw this newspaper article that could be a sample of the future of farming. I can see both sides, the little family farm (only 27,000 acres) just wants to make a living, and the surrounding communities don't want the side effects of the farm to go beyond the property lines. Do family farms and corporate farms still have a responsibility to be good neighbors, or is that a thing of the past?
