I grew up a rural area outside of St. Louis. My parents had 1 acre but my grandparents live next door and they had 25 acres to roam. Plus all of the neighbors.

I helped my uncle and cousin farm in the areawhen I was 13 years old-High School.

The city is fast eating up all the open land around here now. The only thing the farms grow now is HOUSES. We live on 3 acres kinda out away from the hustle and bustle. As soon as my daughter moves out for good, I am moving to the country again.
