Mow these neat roadway strips along their property.
It would probably be wierd to knock on their door and tell them how their efforts are appreciated.
But last year I did stop and thank a fellow who was picking up roadside trash. He parked on the shoulder, used tongs and a bucket, then moved his car further along.
More snow last night - but I have a few photos I can look at of nice rides. (this was taken July 4th two years ago at daybreak)
Around here I think it is the county's responsibility to mow the strips on both sides of the road, mainly because they become a fire hazard if a car pulls over onto them.
In farm country, like your area, it is good to see that someone cares enough to do it. When we ride the back country roads we see some areas that have been trimmed and some that are not. We just figured that the county had dropped the ball in those areas.

Farmland round my way the roads are usually bordered by a fence a wall or a ditch or a combination thereof.
There's no way an Aberdeenshire farmer would let that much land go to waste.

Around here most of the farmers deposit the land on the road with their tractor tyres.
fish, Me Too! That right there is a Proud farmer! Bless him, and Mr. Wulforst (who's that?)
It's rare I see a farm anymore and we had many.
The father of a good friend of mine owned 3 very large farms back in the late 50-70's. Three hot spots on Long Island for a farmer: Syosset, Huntington and Riverhead. When he became ill and after his wife passed his children thought it best to sell them off one by one. His abundance of land (fertile or not) was very desirable and heavily bidded upon. "Enter Industrialization"
In place of all three farms industrial parks were born. Concrete, brick and mortar, glass, aluminum and steel all heading upwards. Now Structures side by side where His Amazing Corn once grew
Ah fish, Never feel weird about complimenting someone. Never. If your heart then mind comes forward with that message then meant to be > Put it out there! That person(s) worked long and hard and to hear your voice? Wow, You sir made it worth their while. Now Smile, the Both of you!
Stop! You knew this already. Yer an old timer. You've lived long enough to know (me too)

Not sure what "county row" is - but - the equipment used by the county does a chop to the roadside, not a manicured 'mow' like this.
I don't blame the county guys for using those thrashing mow decks - roadsides contain engine parts, bottles, deer parts, tree debris, etc., etc. which their decks can deal with, day in and day out.
Even when the farm house is not fronted on some of these roads - they come down the lane and mow the roads. Farms on the roadside just extend their yard mowing down the street.
ROW..Right Of Way..Every road has a buffer to the property line.That swath looks like the buffer also known as the clear zone..Required these days on any modern roadway.
