Where my farm is it used to be very rural,now its in the middle of what I'd guess many would call urban sprawl or suburbia.My new neighbors are nothing like what most rural people on here describe or imagine they might be,most are very educated,practical,and very nice people.A larger percentage of them have gardens and know more about growing things like fruit trees,vegetables and the like than most 'real' farmers I know these days.Many are retired with really nice big houses and that is great they pay a lot of real estate tax and send no kids to school,taxes on my farm land are low as a result because these folks want to preserve what is left of the open farm land in the county and they know low taxes will encourage that.They are a lot better educated on farming in general than most farmers would think they are too.Not one of these people has a bull that will tear up the line fence and get in with my cows either,no dogs running around killing livestock,police and emergency have about a 5 minute response time.Not saying there are some not so great people here either but they usually mellow out over time once they get it figured out that being a Big Shot where they came from doesn't carry over here as this place is full of people that used to be Big Shots.
