Farmers fear sprawl
Although the situation of suburban sprawl continues to rise there are still proud citizens, such as Martie and Karla Weber, who refuse the state buying of private property in return for centralized convenience. Groups around the nation protest the action, and some states (such as Oregon) are beginning to set an example for the struggle to maintain American culture. As for the future of rural America, there is fortunately room for optimism.

“Today, farmers who grow corn, cotton, soybeans, wheat and rice receive billions of dollars in subsidies when prices for those crops are low,” says Dan Looker. “Cars and trucks are going to be powered by ethanol made from corn, sugar beets and other crops and from biodiesel fuel made from soybeans, canola and other oilseeds.”
