When I was growing up, my Grandpa Lund had the most beautiful piece of farmland off an old dirt road in Johnathan. I spent a lot of summer days sipping lemonade on his porch and lived life on the edge by climbing on his giant propane tank; it was childhood freedom at its best.
But, those days came to an end when developers bought his property and started building town homes; it was so sad.
Residents in Prior Lake have been feeling my grandpa's pain as builders put up new neighborhoods and large apartment complexes right next to their farms.
