Change of Farmings Landscape

Here is corn at 55mph.... Then there is how farmers are expanding their land... They can't afford to purchase new land for expansion...So they utilize what they already have, pieces of wet land, hedgerows and woodlots.
This photo is now a common sight around here. It makes me sad to see them knocking out hedgerows, Ive walked many over the years on a lot of different farms and you may say whats the big deal, its a hedgerow....

But they are so much more... they are like walking thru a history of that farm...some are full of rocks, rock walls that were original fences for the farm, some are full of old dumping sites that give host to some amazing finds, bits of china, old bottles and old machinery that was once pulled by horses. They provided shade on the long days in the field and when its time for lunch. I hate to see them disappearing from the landscape... I understand, but I hate it....
