A lot of land no longer owned by individual farmers, and many of the next generations moved away so when the older farmers died, the houses were just deserted. At least one of those derilict houses looks like the ground in front of it had been plowed for some grassy crop - fourth photo from end.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-87112897049095185202023-01-12T08:48:41.649-05:002023-01-12T08:48:41.649-05:00I always think of you when I see a barn and farmho...I always think of you when I see a barn and farmhouse.

Around here there are far too many signs proclaiming that the land is now owned by PX Farms, an organisation with a negative reputation for looking after the countryside.

Now, it is all divided into 4 acre blocks or so, with gated entrances, push a keypad to enter, HUGE homes, no crops or animals at all, ,most are what I call ultra luxurious. Those homes that are left or demolished, what a shame to see them fall down, not repaired or even moved.Signs of how everyone lives or makes a living these days. The snow on the ground, a little sparse in places, sorry about the owls.Lovely views in every photo.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-30058225285666633702023-01-11T20:08:14.806-05:002023-01-11T20:08:14.806-05:00Excellent countryside to be out and about in.Excellent countryside to be out and about in.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-51727469775108813312023-01-11T19:41:14.558-05:002023-01-11T19:41:14.558-05:00Farmers work so hard and get little reward for it....Farmers work so hard and get little reward for it.
