[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 501895, member: 315"] Things used to be so different, at least from statehood through the 80’s, maybe 90’s. Farms were small. Most raised cattle and/or hogs as well. They employed a fair number of locals. They spent a lot of time with the town folk and had an excellent/close relationship with the town folks. Most the town folks were related to these farmers/ranchers. It was a very close knit relationship. Then when machinery got bigger, farmers took on more land, it got very cut throat due to greed etc. The big equipment allowed them to do more with far less full time help. So then very few if any town folks worked on the farm. The number of kids people had plummeted which caused farmers to spend less time at school functions etc. Then farm programs became much more lucrative which drove the greed and entitlement attitude through the roof. Farmers used to have just enough equipment to get by and get the job done. They drove pickups to town that they likely may have to fix before they could make it home. The town folks had a lot of respect for people like that. Now they buy million dollar combines on a near yearly basis, hoards of other high dollar equipment and drive $100,000 pickups to town for groceries all the while piss and moan about not making any money or the price of grain is too low of the farm program isn’t good enough etc etc. the arrogance just continues to grow. Now they’re in the media squawking because they tying ag is starting to lose their voice in ND lol. They do anything possible to prevent others from hunting, the hunting heritage in ND is of no concern to them. They got theirs. So many have such an elitist me over you attitude now that it’s sickening. [/QUOTE]
