About this Article

Residents of Hampshire Prairie hear sounds of country life from their neat, tree-lined subdivision in Hampshire. Michelle and Scott Johnston moved to the subdivision 11 years ago from an older part of town. "We hear roosters crowing and can still see a farm and corn field out back," Michelle Johnston said.
