Yes, I think my land was once a lake bed. It's very flat here, and there are lots of fossels of shell fish here. It's sad to see land being removed from the agricultural base. Just down the road there's a 50 acre field being prepared for industrial use. I don't understand why they have to take prime farm land for this. There are other places where the land is not as good that could be used for that. We just keep loosing property to cement and blacktop.
It's hard to loose the old farms. My parents farm is way up North, and not in the family any more. Hopefully your Grand parents farm is still being farmed. Farming has become big business now, most of them are big corporation farms. Very few of them are family farms any more. The few that remain are usually the Organic farms. They can still make a living.
