So much farm land is worked, and reworked and planted and plowed and turned under, sprayed with chemicals and fed with more chemicals, year after year and decade after decade. Did you every wonder if the land gets tired?  I did.

In 1992, I bought a farm in Central Texas, and because I was too busy with my own stuff to question arrangements that had been in place for many years, I allowed MY property to continue to be be farmed. Kind of like the farming arrangement conveyed with the sale of the land.  I forgot to ask just how many years it had been in "cultivation" and what was the process and any other questions that gave me information about its history.  The cultivation kept it in an Agricultural status and that was financially good for me.  We're not talking about a lot of money, but it was a quick fix and I didn't even give it a second thought. I was too busy and it was not important to my future.  Right?  NOT!
