There is something funny about our rural municipalities

I first noticed this when I lived in Madison, then moved back home here;  Madison landlords were much more excepting of pets, especially dogs, than they were here. I found that odd when most of the apartments are in a dense concentration with very little land except to take them to a dog park to run and here there are fewer apartments with more country land to run in than you can shake a stick at. I guess, pun intended.
So I guess this small hoe-dun town with a property of 6 1/2 acres, barns and pasture fencing is following in a similar ideology, that is, that farming and farm animals is not for the individual to do, it's for big Con Agra to do and move that way out of the area so I don't see it. It's like the small farmer got so beat up over the last 50, 60 years that their children and their grandchildren have learned to view it as silly, unwanted, problematic and useless. They have passed ordinances officially changing zoning to ensure no one goes down that path again. The mind set(which is of course outdated)is, get in your car and drive 40 miles or more to the big city, work in an office or factory like the rest of us because that's the way you can make money to survive.
