Obviously you don't farm or know anything about what it's like to be a farmer. Most don't have insurance to cover crop damage because if they did they would not be protesting and taking things to the govenment to control deer. If they do have insurance it is because they are the big time farmers that don't have anyother choice.
Taxes have to be lower because many of these farms are hundreds of acres. Houses are ussually on much smaller portions of land. If farmer's didn't get taxe breaks they would never be able to pay the taxes and be forced to sell the land. Not to many farmers I know are millionares.
There must be a reason why they don't want you on their land. Would let let someone you don't know roam around with guns around your livestock and drive thought your hard planted crops?
