Sod, go back and read the posts, again. What if he/she drives a SUV (especially a Mercedes)? What if he builds a $ 300,000 home? What if he makes his living as a "professional" in the city? I would like to, in the next couple of years, buy 10 or 20 acres of farm land (we can't afford to buy 160 acres), hopefully next to other farms, build a nice home and raise some critters and food. However, by the criteria some identified, they would never get to know their new neighbors (us), regardless of our political and environmental views, because of their biases! They would never learn that my wife and I spent 60 years combined, in the USAF, are war veterans, raised on poor farms, worked our way through college (I worked 40 hours a week and was a full time student and paid off my college loans 5 years AFTER my SECOND COMBAT TOUR in SEAsia) and EARNED our advanced degrees in night school and on weekends. We saved and scrimped and now want some space and freedom, just like you.

Be smart: be advocates for your interests, not hostile asses. And, incidentally, my wife and I both shoot frequently, straight, and accurately: .45, .454 Cassull, .357, 9 mm, 7mm and .340 WBY mags, 12 gage, .30-06.

Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
