He hasn't been there long. That farm was previously owned by a long-time friend, but he retired and sold it a few years ago. He had been there 60 years. He got a hernia and had to go to Canada to get an operation since he had no health insurance. Much cheaper in Canada if you're a USA citizen paying cash. He almost lost his right to farm since he was almost out for a full year. If 12 months passes with no farm use - no more farm ever.
I don't agree with your "not 1800s anymore" sentiment. The new guy wanted to farm and bought this place as a legal farm - period. He didn't come here and THEN try to change the laws like many other city-type people do. I don't care if it's 1795 (when the farm started there) or 2012.

Stewarts Shop, NAPA auto parts store, and a small diner. It's the brains inside the people that has changed - not the "growing up" town. We're in rural area - not in a city somewhere. Big problem is - city people keep moving in here because of it's "picturesque rural character." Then once here, they do all they can to make it just like the city they fled.
