If you think about it, does it really pay to build a new home on an isolated farmstead anymore, especially if it will be on a gravel road next to a large feedlot or a confinement livestock operation? Some new farm house can become white elephants because they can't be separated as an acreage or potential buyers can't get a loan because it's on a gravel road. In those cases, the house has little resale value and can only be included with the farmstead.
Two generations ago, the house was on the farm and both dad and mom worked on the farm, even if the farm was rented. A generation ago mom commuted to work in town while dad and the house were on the farm. Now-a-days many younger farm families live in a house in town and dad commutes to work on the farm.
Some of the advantages of a house in town are difficult to ignore: children can walk to school activities or to visit friends instead of being driven everywhere; paved roads vs gravel roads and a driveway to maintain; city water and sewer rates vs a private well and septic system; natural gas vs propane for heating; in-town electric rates vs REC electric rates; high speed internet, phone and cable tv vs dsl internet, phone and satellite tv; etc.
