I have experienced three farms in the family change hands over the last 20 years. Only one went well. The new owners have really done good things with the property. The second, my grandparents' farm, was fought over by three of the five kids and they ended up selling it to a doctor from overseas. The land has gone to pot, the barn is in a pile and the silos are falling down. The house looks like something from the depression era. The third was sold off by the kids and is going to be developed into small housing lots. It was a beautiful farm at the base of the mountain right next to state land. My parents still live on the farm where I grew up. I would do all I could to keep that farm.
