you move into the country, you're moving into a social and economic
system that's been evolving for 150 years. Respect for property
and people and willingness to lend a helping hand are the values
that knit rural communities together. Get to know your neighbors;
they're valuable sources of information on what it takes to live
in the country. Neighboring farmers and ranchers will especially
appreciate your learning about their operations and understanding
how you can coexist with them.
