[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1565292, member: 498"] I was raised in Puyallup, Washington. At that time the valley was either dairies, berry fields, vegetables, or bulb farms. There was a 40 acre place kiddy corner to my parents place. I rented that pasture while in High school. The other side of it was a chicken hatchery and their breeder farm. They ran about 60 cows on their fields. It is all solid houses now. In 1979 I moved 50 miles south to a sleepy little farm community. Lots of dairies, small beef operations, sweet corn and peas raised in the area. When I sold out in September 2017 there were very few dairies left, fewer beef places, and none of the crop farmers. Schools were too small by the time they were up and running. Houses springing up every where. I moved out far enough this time that they wont catch me. My closest neighbor's family stopped their covered wagon here on the Oregon trail. There are less people here now than when they stopped back in 1850. [/QUOTE]
