I was born in Toledo Ohio.
Grew up just over the NY NJ border in Vernon NJ, and came to NY in 1988.
Currently the small dairy farms in my immediate area are being crushed out of existence by insane taxes, levies, and regulations stuck on them.
That sucks. I am getting to be more and more a libertarian. My niece and husband own a large dairy farm in WI. I think they crush smaller farms. I think they have too much, too young though. They took over her husband's family's dairy business. But farmers work hard! 24/7.
