It knocked out 80% of the population in GA. It is starting to come back but it is still below the levels in the 70's and 80's.tsquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737130316088634658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-24674419279787955532018-05-05T19:55:15.477-04:002018-05-05T19:55:15.477-04:00Sad and much the same here.

Gone are the family farms of 160 to 240 acres. The farm where they raised a few hogs and cows. Some to butcher for the freezer, others to sell to make it through the winter. Most also had chickens. Which some went to the freezer, others to the butcher shop, and always eggs. Now where 5-8 families lived, worked, and grew. All gone now, just thousands of acres in corn or soy beans. Farmed by a business. No hogs, no cows, no chickens, and no more family farms. They simply do not exist.
