Any others with Land?

[agentOrAnGe]

I was sitting on my Front Porch and realized how fortunate I was to own some farm land. Was wondering if anyone else he farms or owns land?

I own about 3acres left by my Grandma in Saddleworth, UK. It's on a slope though so that kinda kills it since I can't really do much on it, lol.

I've been left with a couple of ache-ers after watching too much porn over the weekend...

I own a plot at the front of my house about the same size as a single bed - otherwise known as the front garden  :lol:

I'm Mancunian, I get disoriented and confused if I can't see brick walls and pre-stressed concrete tower blocks.

And let's be honest here, countryside smells like cow droppings.

The best thing to do with large plots of land is build a hypermarket/shopping development on it - that way everyone can enjoy it, get some exercise and spend 3x more on their weekly shopping than they otherwise would.

It doesn't always smell like cow droppings, only when you pass a cattle farm. And fortunately there are not to many in the area I live. I am living on 70 acres and we grow Tobacco, corn, tomatoes and just about any other vegetable  available for the climate I live in.
Best Parts of farming: I've been driving since I was six, can repair my own cars, can feed myself so I save a ton at the store, no annoying neighbors, I can hunt off m back porch AND I can Play guitar as loud as I want anytime I want to.

Worst parts: Having a huge yard to mow, the occasional cow patty smell, And the 30 min drive to anywhere.

I can't be bothered with the 30 minute drive to anywhere. If I open my window here and throw three stones I literally hit an Asda, a Farmfoods and my doctor's surgery. And no cows.

And probably 3 big issue sellers too.

on my visits to manchester i've noticed its just as bad as leeds for it possible worse

I'm an ex-farmer.
My dad still does it and has a few hundred acres in the North West.
I get the best of both worlds, I live in the city and can go out to the sticks when needed.
Plus I can tell people the merits of one type of spud over another. (That's if they are still listening after I've talked at them about guitars, amps, pedals and pickups.)

[Ian Price]

I'm interested in what the best spud is for roasting. Can you tell me please.

Quite a fan of the Maris Piper myself, said the country boy who moved to city at the first available opportunity...

[WezV]

i agree with maris pipers for roasting - the nice fluffy texture really helps
