FARMING TURNED UPSIDE DOWN OR NEARLY SO
Sorry to say this but a number of Ontario farms have fallen into this kind neglect as speculators buy
up the land in expectation of future growth and huge profits. No one lives on the farm anymore.
And there is another factor at work. Farms get rented out to people who really do not give
a damn about farming. they can’t even if they wanted to. for great swaths of Ontario farm land
is now owned or managed by corporate agriculturalists who are interested only in cash cropping.
So the barns fall down and, in this case, a Ford half ton truck gets posted up on its side so
some mechanically minded person can get at its entrails.
