[AT] Real farmers problems - a discussion of land use related to farming - was fuel problems get expensive - perspectives and reactions

[David Bruce]

Not quite that bad here but headed that way.  Deer, wild turkey and 
houses are popping up everywhere.  The current economic mess has slowed 
the houses a bit but that is begging to gain steam again.

Most all the farming here is done on relatively small fields surrounded 
by wooded areas - perfect for those long legged rats or the turkey.

Now if someone would come up with a way to effectively "farm" deer for 
the venison ...
