We specifically had to sell the third generation farm due to 10x increase in taxes one year.

We were under utilizing it and now its a hospital among other things.

So...happy ending ?
I have no right to complain but most people like to maintain the status quo. I was fortunate but my kids will not know what farm like was like.
Farms are nothing but death and misery. You're lucky you got to be on the owner side of that. Lots of kids work their entire lives on other peoples farms, often for $0 or any upside, and end up having nothing. I think the right call was made.
