I"ve seen three farm equipment junkyards fall victim of encroaching real estate development on the outskirts of some local towns. The first one to go was forced by the city and county. The owner was attacked by the Illinois EPA who claimed it was an environmental hazard due to soil contamination. After the equipment left, they didn"t do any remediation or soil removal.

The third place just moved all of their equipment onto rural property where they could continue the business.
