We have 100 acre farm here in mid michigan,that
used to support my father's family back in the
day.It is sad to see what is happening,and all
farms selling out,or going to development.Many
from my generation do not want to work that hard
as has been mentioned,this has made many dairy
farms locally bring in mexican workers,since
they will gladly do the job at hand.Just try to
find any help to pick rocks,or bale hay in this
day and age,if it can't be done on a computer kids don't even want to think about it.The prices
are major factor as well,grain & livestock,and
new equipment.Times have changed,when 100 acres
is basically just hobby-farm,or more rent ground
to these big 1-2000 acre operations,that come in
and use the land,taking all the business & profit
from local communities.
