I have been thinking about how much city people changed the farming climate where I lived. Don't get me wrong - there were lots of city people that had moved to the country before the last wave that appeared shortly after 911. I think the big difference was though that when they came, they wanted you to change to their way of life instead of them changing when they moved.
It is like the neighbor that built a house along side one of our fields. One foggy morning the cows didn't appear at the barn waiting to come in to be milked. About the same time we were ready to start chores, the phone rang. It was this woman and she was very upset about her landscaping being trampled by the cows. We started to freak out because judging by her attitude, I knew for sure we were going to get sued for damages. So we went out on the tractor to figure out where they got out and figured on going through that spot and get past the herd so we could push them back.
We were shocked at what we found! Someone had cut our fence and it was like a road where four-wheelers had been riding. We started up the road and ended up at the woman's house. We told her, "build a road and they will come". She started to talk about the damages and I explained to her that we were ready to sue for cutting our fence, our time, and potential damages to our cows from eating things that they shouldn't be. By the way, I should have you arrested for trespassing on our land. It took her a few minutes to realize that she was in the wrong. Cidiots!
