Mike,

I love heading out to New Holland, PA, and Carlisle... That would be my retirement home, if land prices werent' so high... then again... Out here, an acre is now going for $25,000-30,000... and it is s**t farmland...

Too late for some of us... We got $45 per acre on lease, signing up too early... My twp is withholding due to complaints from those who bought a farm for a glory hole. They don't produce crops or do work, they just put in, settle down, and enjoy the ride...

Then they complain...

I die a little bit inside each day. I remember the feed mill being packed to the gills on a saturday morning. I remember the farmers knowing everyone, and talking freely about it all... Saturday nights... Hee Haw on teh TV, stopped to the tastey freeze for a cone, covered in manure and sweat... Going home and working in the lights in the barn, running the machines until way after dark... Hee Haw Gospel Quartet and my dad signing along...

I am seriously getting teary eyed jsut thinking about those days and how they are gone.

Gas money is pushing a lot of dairy farmers out, because they finally can afford to get out and never come back from that lifestyle. They sell off the heards and retire. I am one of the last. The generation before is now in there late 70's and 80's. The young ones are in their 60's... Teh young spirit had been replaced by monotony and dispair. It's a downward spiral. Right down teh toilet so fast... They will die and no one can take their place, except for houses built "starting in the 270's up to 450"

That is what I see now. Its done now. trees taller than 20 feet where I once planted crops. metal rustingto the ground where I once sat and rode for hours.

If anyone should be ashamed of themselves, it is not the gas companies, it is those who moved here to be in "farmland" and over took it, only to make another useless suburb of snobby a88holes who will grow up consuming things they can't buy here anymore. They can drive their BMW's and Audi's... Someday, their corn will come from China and they won't care. I will be dead by then, and rolling in my grave knowing that the majority never gave a s88t about me or my way of life.

To the admin who deleted my previous post: I just want you to know how this new wave is tearing apart yesterday's tractors just the same as it tears up the operators of those tractor's of yesterday. WIthout those operators or their tractors, there is no new generation to run them, or produce. We are failing and nothing short of a miracle is goign to save us.
