I get where you're coming from Yogi, but I can't see how subdividing the family farm into what are essentially unproductive (or far less productive) little blocks is logically consistent with what you want to happen. It's unlikely these blocks will ever join back up (T-1000 style), so you've taken your own little steps to destroying farming. Well done?

There's an element of jest there, so don't be offended.

Must scoot, got a few loads of dead pine to haul. Would be nice to have a trailer but I guess today is going to be an arm day. I am the Weediest He-Man.

Subdivision of rural properties is where the economics of farming and residental collide. When I was involved in the avocado industry about 20 years back the Industry Council identified subdivision of orchards as one of the greatest barriers to incresing productivity. Not in the loss of critical economies of scale as properties shrunk but in the resistance of existing large orchard owners to increase per hectare tonnages because the land was increasing in value at a greater rate than they could expect from increasing inputs and efforts. In other words more tempting to cash up and move on than put in the extra work.
