Miles and miles….
I recently crossed a whole lot of the United States. And then crossed it again. The vastness of farmland we have in this country is boggling. And it leaves me with this question: Where have all the farmers gone?
I mean, when you can enter a state at one side and exit at the other and pretty much see only farmland in every direction but rarely see a homestead you begin to wonder what has become of all the small family farms and farmers.
I looked for signs as I drove that at one time people had lived on the land. These signs were few and far between. Here is an example of an old homestead in the middle of miles and more miles of farmland.
