Wow, is all I can say. Tell us how you REALLY feel. I would probably be considered one of "them city-slickers", but hear my side. I bought my property (55A) 3 yrs ago and have gotten nothing but grief from the neighbors. I introduced myself to those that came around with a smile and a handshake, explained that I wanted to retire and raise horses, plant some hay, etc. The property is vacant, zoned agriculture. They have been ornery, rude, crude, downright nasty. All in the name of "we were here first". They each have 3-7 acres fronting my land and considered the property their personal recreation area prior to my purchase, hunting, fishing, running their ATVs all over it. Granted, they are not "REAL farmers", but the attitude is the same as yours: "NOT WELCOME HERE". They claim to be "country folk", saying "we do things differently up HERE", but the bottom line is they are not very good neighbors, in my opinion.
I would tell you the same thing I told them: If you wanted to keep me (or any other "city-slicker") from moving here, you should have bought the property yourself. That being said, I wouldn't stereotype all "country-folk" to be like my neighbors, just as you shouldn't stereiotype all new neighbors as "city slickers". Give them a chance and remember, the reason more property is available is because "real farmers" are selling off portions in small chunks. So, if you want to blame anyone, blame the farmers for splitting up their spreads. Actually, that might be you someday when you want to retire and cash out your investment. JMHO

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
