I think in some cases it’s people moving in — not to farm but to live. Our local school district with class sizes of 40-60/class (typical small rural school) has added between 2-4 kids in most grades. That’s not a lot but percentage wise it really is, from a county that’s lost population in every census since the 40’s people from cities are looking for a way out. Banker said they’re working with multiple families moving into the region. Friday night was date night, we went to local establishment— place was full, probably only knew 30% of the people in there - usually it’s nearly all of them. Maybe it’s a local thing, but people want out of the mayhem.
