Paul, We sold our farm in Chisago City, MN in 1979 after my father passed. All of my family lives there. I spent a bit of time there this last year-including doing a little farming with old neighbors and buying a '52 Case SC from one of them. As much as I am sentimentally attached to MN, after 33 years in the USAF, I would only move there if I could get our farm back.

They represent, to me, the harbinger of what is to come. Whatever happened to the idea of advising farmers, and assisting them, in improving environmental conditions and practices without using police-state tactics? Why hideous fines? If I were able to buy our farm back (highly unlikely) I would be afraid to do anything less I would violate any one of many arcane laws and regs. And I could only afford to sustain the farm economically because I have a government pension. You're right! It's a very serious, threatening situation.
