[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1563316, member: 25884"] Yes, Rockbridge County and the whole area of Augusta, Highland, Bath, & Rockbridge counties are nice. I wound up here because it is alot like the Green Mountains of Vermont where my family had property and cousins had a dairy. W & L and Virginia Military are what drive and support Lexington. But there is alot of rock. Best mostly for grazing and some crops. There were 20 + dairies in Rockbridge 30 years ago; there are 4 now and 2 more will probably be out in 5 years. No one to take them over, and milk prices are killing them. The close proximity to I-81 has been bringing the jerks in from elsewhere and we are dealing with more "yankees" that move from where they were, too high taxes, and all that, and now they are wanting this and that and the costs are going up. But that is happening so many places. I came here because I wanted the rural life, and have fought hard to keep it that way. But we can't make a living farming, and the outsiders have money and come in and buy the land and then proceed to make it "fancy" and next thing you know we can't spread "manure" cuz it "smells".....
