As I was once again sitting in traffic on my way to work, looking around and not seeing one speck of land that wasn’t concrete, I began to wonder:  are there any farms left around here?

For years, I have dreamed of owning farmland.  I don’t want to run a professional farm, but I would love to have about 20 acres to farm for myself and my kids.  We get to raise healthy vegetables, and it’ll teach my kids about how to plant, care for, and grow produce.  But I am a west of the Mississippi type of guy, and don’t want to move to the heartland to find this little piece of heaven on earth.  Anything in the western US that’s worth pursuing for farmland, or is it all gone?

Now I have the theme song to the TV stuck in my head, and I think the only way to get it out is to find my own Green Acres….
