wow, rancho de chimpy really was a big-time hog farm

Always thought that maybe Mr Engelbrecht, the previous owner who now lets chimpy drive his pickup, kept a few hogs in a pen out back of the farmhouse and this was being blown a bit out of proportion.

Nope, it was a big ass hog farm. USGA aerial photos from 1995 show five large hog barns, enough space to hold a thousand plus hogs. They were located on Mill road and torn down when the trust of farmer george purchased the property and closed a public road, then extended his private roadway 900 yards to the casa de chimpy.

The trust currently is paying property taxes on 1577.22 out of a total of 1580.22 acres (3 acres for the house) based on agricultural use value ($80/acre) instead of market value ($813/acre)

Texas property tax law sez that to get this ag classification you must actually raise crops, cut hay, have cows, etc.

Where's the beef or pork?
