I find many of the posts here interesting and yes the government rural programs and 'walmartization' sure have had an impact. But, maybe we need to look closer to home. That same capitalistic drive to succeed has also turned to greed and lack of community cohesiveneess are the grass roots problem. How many of you would gladly pay the retiring couple down the road a fair price for his land? Or have a son or daughter that would like to farm, but are looked over and lose out to the conglomerate farming. When it comes right down to it our older generations have sold out the backbone of this country in the name of greed. many of this generation did work hard to earn a living for their family, but, in reality it was timing and inflation that made them wealthy.

To summarize don't let this older generation complain because they don't get to see their grandchildren grow up. They all had to move toward the urban areas to find jobs. Resulting in the doomed small town which includes schools, businesses and churches. Those large operations are not to blame it is those landlords that have no sense of community that have a choice. Sad to say it boils down to old fashioned greed
