Swallowing hard, he added, "That new property tax pushed me back in the red-just when I thought I was going to break even! My broker is coming out this afternoon to look over my land. I guess it's just a matter of time before that big conglomerate down the road swallows me up." Sound like farmers today? Well, consider.
