I looked at a number of farms,with an eye toward purchasing and farming, but there was residential development encroaching on all of them, and I know what that portends. The newcomers will need schools, and all sorts of municipal services. The result will be increased property taxes that will force all the farmers out.

Oh, for Pete's sake.
My uncle farms in upstate New York - Finger Lakes region - and his family is doing just fine growing corn. Nobody is "encroaching" on them. In fact, my cousin is an advisor to Dole.
You lay out excuses on why you can't farm - RESIDENTS ARE ENCROACHING ON ALL OF THEM.
You whine like a liberal - all talk, no action.
I suspect you have zero interest in farming, but just want to bitch about "sprawl."
In fact, I think you're associated with the fascist American Planning Association, situating yourself here on FR to disrupt the board.
