The decay of the homestead house, the abandoned farming machinery, being worn down by the weather and all being reclaimed and covered by thickets of wild blackberrys and encroaching forest. A small family farm is gone forever.

Sad story, well-captured! I hear that wild blackberries are a real problem in the Pacific Northwest.

Excellent entry! Sad but all too true. Farmers in Vermont, especially Dairy farmers are really having a rough time. This is a Yeah for me.

Great entry, voted. NJ farmland is disappearing also, by land being sold to build homes. It won't be long before the only thing the "Garden State" grows is developments, then we'll need a new nickname.
