It's hard to imagine a more pleasant setting for a farmer to work in. But turn around, says David, and take a look at the future. It's not long in coming. Just a mile north of the 200 acres that David farms with his brother, Tom, and father, Bill, are several new subdivisions, filled with people who wanted to escape the stresses of city life and move to the country.
Trouble is, now the country is disappearing.
And David's livelihood probably won't be far behind. It's really a sad deal. If the houses keep coming, I'm not going to want to live here either. When David's parents pass away, the farmland will be inherited by eight siblings. Only two David and Tom want anything to do with the rigors of farming.
