Gilchrist County, Florida
This is the Langford family. Their farm
is 600 acres with a 150-head cow-calf operation, a large haying
business, watermelons, corn and peanuts. As with John Thomas (nearby), the Langfords face growing pressure from development, especially higher
property taxes. But the family has benefited in one way. All the five
and 10 acre farms in the county are making for brisk business at the
Langford's fencing and gate business. Shown here (from left to right) is
