'City attorney...refuses to work with farmer neighbor': New neighbor refuses farmer's trade offer, becomes infuriated when his taxes skyrocket

This attorney moved from the city to the country without considering the consequences. It's a major life change, as u/USPO-222 writes.

Social media often glamorizes life on a farm. On Instagram or Tiktok, people who act "trad" (meaning traditional) show off their relaxing, low-technology life. Some people will share their days of baking fresh bread, doing household chores, or feeding chickens. Farm life is all that stuff, but there's so much more that goes into it, especially for those who have made farming their livelihood. Farmers have a hard life — they wake up in the middle of the night to begin caring for their cattle or tending their crops, and most don't quit until dinner time. It's no 9-5 office job, that's for sure. There aren't really "vacation days" for farmers, since they always have to care for either their animals or their crops, or both.

The attorney in this story decided to buy a 50 acre property on farmland. After moving from the city, he met his new neighbors, including a farmer who'd had an agreement with the previous land owner. The farmer tells the attorney that he will mow his fields a few times a year and harvest a few trees, and in return, the attorney would receive enough chopped wood to heat his house all winter. But the attorney seemingly thought he was too smart for this deal, and was convinced the farmer was taking advantage of him. After rejecting this offer, he must have regretted it.

Next up, this HOA was tired of looking at this person's 30-year-old car, so they demanded they move it, but the car owner had the last laugh.
