That is where farming is changing, the profitable farms are going to be near populated areas.A fellow bought a chisel plow from me back in the Spring that used to dairy farm.He and his son quit that and now grow vegetables and grass fed beef, he sells locally which includes the Wash DC area.Told me they are doing a whole lot better now than when they were milking cows. He and his son(in his late 20's) do this full time.Of course I'd imagine he'd already had the farm paid for but still pretty impressive.Checked the price of vegetables in the grocery store lately? There is a whole lot of room price wise for local grown with better/fresher to come in under those prices.Last time I was in Kroger with the wife they had apples for $1.99 to $2.99 lb.That is $120 to $180 a bushel! Any orchard that can get 1/3 of those prices for their apples is going to be in the money.No wonder direct from farm sales are taking off not only the consumer getting fresher produce but a whole lot cheaper too.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
