Got a good friend that's now 87 years old and he's the same way. He was in the milking business years ago but got out of it as he got older in favor of just raising the cows. He has well over 100 acres that has all been in the family since the 40's and parts of it off and on since the 1700's. He's got 3 old IH tractors that he getsd along with just fine. The only new items he has are his, new rotary hay mower and his new 15' brush cutter (stepped up from an old 10 footer). He was, for the most part still "in the country" til two years ago when they finished a section of the outer belt loop and put in the interchange. Now he has all this land less than two blocks from an interchange....with lots of road frontage....a strip mall going in right across the street....and high dollar housing developments growing up all around faster than weeds......He said he will never see all monetary the returns off the land, but he figures the kids and grandkids are all gonna be pretty well set after he's gone since land at the interchange now is starting to go more by the square foot than by the acre. The "country" is drying up around Charlotte as much as it is everywhere else... I wonder how long til all us country folk are gonna be forced to move somewhere else to enjoy the peace and quiet that we are used to???
