Up until my generation my fathers side of the family were all dairy farmers. I had many talks with my father about the way that things used to be. He pointed out that everywhere that you find a stone wall was once a pasture. I haven't been in the woods in Andover very many times but do know that here in Loudon there are plenty of stone walls that seem to be in the middle of nowhere, most forming a rectangle or square that once was a field.

I tend to believe my father who was born in 1923 and grew up on and later owned a dairy farm than some crack pot that pulled a number out of the sky and formed an opinion based on a political agenda.
