I hear you -- Santa Clara valley in California was fabulous farm land that could grow anything -- unfortunately it grew poluting semiconductor companies. The top soil here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon is 300 ft deep and this is the nursery capital of the country -- but more and more of it gets paved daily. So very sad. So extremely STUPID!!

The developer did not take the option on the rest of the land due to the poor economy. There are 12 houses built -3 have been sold. They are now talking about a bypass around our town.If it goes where they are talking about the exit will be on the other edge of our farm and take land from it. I do not understand what the powers to be are thinking. this is top farm land We do not need more new homes there are at least 1500 for sale in town now. Worry about dog show locations I worry where the food for my grandchildren will be grown. sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
