11 not 12 generations of farmers.

Though I have said it before, in public form, our nations next war will be foughtt for fresh water and food, this morbid story, drives yet another nail into the wood.

DOVER, N.H. — In 1632, John Tuttle arrived from England to a settlement near the Maine-New Hampshire border, using a small land grant from King Charles I to start a farm.

Eleven generations and 378 years later, his field-weary descendants — arthritic from picking fruits and vegetables and battered by competition from supermarkets and pick-it-yourself farms — are selling their spread, which is among the oldest continuously operated family farms in America.

I agree that water wars are in our future, but I don't see it happening in North America in my lifetime (55 here).

How does this story tie in with water wars, though?
