I imagine there's going to be noise and dust from time to time but how often? Was it a problem for you?

If that corner slot is divided into two pieces of real estate, does your neighbor play a bigger role in your life...or something?

What were your experiences living on a corner piece like that?

This'll be a huge jump for us, and I know I'll be the main one advocating for something outside the town, so want to thoroughly consider every angle! Thanks.
Those corners are pretty important for wildlife habitat.

Yep, if you don't believe in better living through chemistry, you might want to take a pass.

That said, I would live in the corner of a pivot, rather than having urban neighbors.

But in the end, your are displacing rare, and important wildlife habitat. And on your level, check with what crops would be farmed in your area, and their chemical requirements IF you do not believe in better living through chemistry.

Am I the only one who saw the title and thought about the "mysterious" kind of crop circles?

The point about pockets of wildlife habitat, or at least resting places, is a good one.

I could live there no problem. The squares look like sections, so they would be mile roads. You will have a half mile of road frontage on each corner, if so. The photo is deceiving because it is taken so far up. There is quite a bit of space and room on the corners. From the ground it will look quite different. As far as the farming, they may swing through there 3-4 times a year max.

That's what I thought, and why I clicked on it.

Guess I'll have to mosey on over to the Para-Normal forum to check on crop circles, lol.
