He is taking over the nieghborhood

[Butcher]

The guy that owns the land around my place bought another 640 down the road this spring. He owns well over 10,000 acres of farm ground most if not all is rented out to some one else. He started his buying spree back when John Deere bought his farm ground to build it's N.E. site assembly plant for big bucks. Just for the heck of it I googled him just now.

I guess owning that much land buys you a whole bunch of tax dollars.

Around here, a guy with last name of Klocke is buying everything he can.
