#1 A farm family doesn't have a vegetables' patch, or neighbors with whom they can trade milk & eggs for vegetables?

#5 If you have a 305 acre dairy farm that isn't making money, you switch from dairy to something else. Either that or you sell the farm. I'm sure some developer would be happy to build condos on it. But then, it could be they're just not very good at dairy farming. So this is a sob story complicated, of course, by that Bad Orange Man. WAPO indeed. It's a load of crap.
