Not too many years ago concerns were frequently raised about all of the farmland that was being used up for housing developments.  In fact, back in 2008 I wrote an article entitled "Will Rockingham County Be Paved Over?"

Now, apparently, the tables have been turned.....


(from the Saturday, March 26, 2011 edition of the Daily News Record)

It seems that we have a bit of a role reversal here -- a house is being torn down so that land can be used for farming.

What will we do now??  Should the home builders rally to save the housing development land from the growing threat of farming??
