Our family started farming the 160 acre farm across the road in 1963. The landlord then bought another 80 acres a mile and a half away a couple years later. Some years ago my dad arranged for my brothers to rent the 240 from the landlady so they could get a start farming instead of working for wages. A couple years ago dad rented his land to them instead of crop sharing. The landlady died last summer and the farm was sold a couple weeks ago. The older of my younger brothers was born the year we started farming it in May. Our family farmed it all his life and 3 years longer than the youngest brother has been alive. They are almost 54 and 51 years old. The landlady's husband died back in the mid to late 70's. She was 98 or 99. They had no children, but 9 nieces and nephews as heirs. Of course a couple of the BTO's were bidding on it. The brothers that got it have another farm halfway between the two parcels. They are from about a dozen miles away, but bought the local farm 30 plus years ago.
