I happen to know a lot about Ottawa County, Michigan. And the whole pull to get people to move to farmland is a joke- its noting more than a well designed ploy to destroy farmland and build cookie cutter subdivisions. I once marveled at the number of farms and old, pristine farmhouses in Ottawa County. Now, I only shake my head in disappointment as one of the most charming counties in Michigan falls victim to 'progress'. Whatever. It just depresses me to see so many farms disappear.

Well YOU could buy their land, then farm or preserve it...Or, you could (for selfish reasons) take away the private property rights of the farmer for the sale of farm land...Or, you could offer another huge increase in farm subsidies and restrict imported foods so they can afford to stay on the land

Your dream can come true, it's up to you.
