OT**Mitch-C///Pete Young...>>>so I think it's at least a regional thing.<<<< I have noticed the same thing in my recent travels across southern Iowa and Nebraska (last two weeks) My farmer friends in Iowa tell me this....with the reduction or elimination of farm subsidies, the small farmer is just not going to survive, and in many areas has already left. In southern Iowa (along hwy 2, that runs along the entire border about 10 miles north of the Missouri line) grazing land goes for $300.00 a acre. Cultivated land about $400.00 per acre. Used to be in the 50's and 60's a farm on every 60 acres. Now its one farm house per 500 acres.An empty driveway being the only sign where a house used to be. I don't know of any rural farm area that is prospering.Just look at the rural town squares any where in the mid-west. Nothing but empty store fronts facing the courthouse and the civil war monuments. Somehow the internet is accelerating the decline of these areas. Regards, Jerome
