Same here, There's old roads that are not there today on the plat map. The dead end my farm is on used to be a through road.

I sent them a pic of the map, and I think that it came out extremely well. Here’s the final product from the pic I sent them. They had a couple preview options to ensure it’s what I wanted before it was made final.

https://www.canvaschamp.com/ I can't say that they're better or worse than any of the other options out there since this is the only canvas I've had done. The canvas was shipped and secured very well I thought to avoid damage in transit.

Yes sir, That's generally what is happening. There's less 40/80's and more 160's on that map now as opposed to then. Some of the 300+ acre farms I could see getting slashed to smaller sizes.

This is a plat map from the 1930’s for my area of Mercer County. My farm in red was a 120, it’s now the full 160. The farm highlighted in blue is a 498 acre farm now that was 398 in the 30’s. All those little farms directly east of me are now all a single 280. Had this printed off on a canvas...

Always boils down to greed. There's been landowners sell land to locals for cheaper to start farming and then you know what happened???? The person that got the "deal" resold the land for the going rate on the open market.

The $$$ doesn't flow there for locals like it does for OOS. This is just the nature of the beast when it comes to capitalism. I'm not faulting the guy with the $$ for buying the land up, but it will have ripple affects later on with the changing landscapes. It's still mainly farms and...

For my area, the farms haven't been fragmented at all. It's just OOS or "city folk" with money that have gobbled up land that came up for sale. The lease prices are through the roof, and those are all OOS hunters in my experience. A 400 acre farm may have had 7-10 guys that hunted it for...

Besides, it's hard to hide from something you can't see.... roll the dice

Do vegetarians have any risk from prions or prion-like proteins in their food? "On March 21, 1996, an embarrassed UK Government released a list of the first ten human victims of a new disease. They had been infected by bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and the new disease was called...

I'd think something else to look at as a whole is: Are there more people contracting CJD now than say 30-60 years ago?

They're finding it in new counties consistently....I don't think their plan is slowing down squart and/or there is anything to slow its progression. I do like the extra tags that they give me for my farm in the Mercer County CWD zone so I'm all for them keeping on.

I've listened to a lot of "old timers" over the years, and I can't say that I've ever heard them regret buying land....it was only ever selling land that they lamented about.
