In the town I grew up in in NJ,,it used to be many small family farms.In the 6os,,developments sprung up all through the town like wildfire. Many,Many, kids and familys who never lived in this area were a majority now in town.Lots of pressure on some of the old time small farmers to clean up was enforced by the local ordinance officer whenever he could make it apply.Heres one true story you may like to hear. Down the road from us were a brother and a sister who lived on a farm that was quite large ,it was on both sides of the road.Their big pasture and some old rickety sheds were on one side,,and their house ,orchard(and collections) were on the other side.The man and woman had a cow and usually raised a calf or so across the street.First thing that happened,someone called the A.S.P.C.A,,the cow and calf didnt have water,,and the barns were haserdous.My dad heard of this and went to help the man.He took his backhoe there,cleaned up around the barns and shaped it up a bit.Then he went to get the old time vet we all knew in town.The vet went to a hearing,,he explained that the farmer leads the cow down to an ever running clear spring twice a day(which he did do) and he wanted to know who knows more about farming than this old man ,who has been doing this all his life,,and so did his grandfather?..So ,the old framer got to keep going for a while,and lived out some more years as he wanted to.Later on,he and his sister sold the pasture side ,and McMansions sprouted.Now came pressure to clean up the other side.the two didnt live much longer after that.Oddly enough,they left the farmhouse and orchard to the town.the town has made nature trails for yuppies,,and made a museum of the house and outbuildings.A Tractor sits out front,,their old dodge pickup (rusty) in the backyard.Why is it ok to look at it now,,,and not then?/
