Back in the dust bowl days, nonproductive farms weren’t turned into housing tracts.
This is happening terribly as out of staters from California and Illinois ar driving the real estate market out of farmers ability to keep up with l property taxes.
Then they did and the children sell the farm.
Yeah, that is another huge problem- children not keeping up the traditions of farming- that may be more troubling than the drought in the long term, especially with China buying massive properties across the US.
