So farmers go out of business and sell to developers.

Joel Salatin

There's a history of people commuting for good jobs in Maine, ... We're a mobile state because of our rural nature. To make it work as a car pooler, you need to be able to link up with people in similar situations. And the higher the price of energy, the more incentive there is to car pool. An organization like Go Maine helps find that needle in the haystack.

David Cole

Taking the entire globe, if North America and Western Europe can be called the 'cities of the world', then Asia, Africa and Latin America constitute 'the rural areas of the world'.

Sarah Mitchell

When these plants went up in these small towns, my goodness, it was really a shot in the arm for these rural communities.
