I don't farm bless all you who do. I do however haul a lot of farm machinery. Also I help my wife run her photography buisness. what i would like to know is.. why is it that some farms are beutiful while other farms seem to be run down.  since i don't farm i have no concept for how a day is spent on a farm. is time an issue for say a single (no wife or children) farmer. so he may not have time to paint the barn or mow the grass even?or would it mabey be due more to lack of ambition and or financing? the reason I ask is I see alot of this phenomenon across the country and I thought mabey i could start another division of my buisness restoring farmyards. Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated.  I think some of you might enjoy my wife's blog and website it's www.dawnbuchananphotography.com She has some really nice pictures posted there.
