Have finally made the big jump to sell my farm property. Selling to neighbors that are orchard people. Been hard to make this decision, but have to face that age is catching up to me. Been rounding up paper work and taking to title company. Will close after the first of the year.
They will be planting pears, but too late now to order trees, so they want me to put up the hay for another year. Have owned this piece of property for over thirty years, and it has been good to me. Taxes on the sale are not going to be my liking, but that's life.

Are you selling the buildings and land, or just land adjacent to the building area? Are you looking forward to it (except for taxes!)?

The only building is a 40 X 80 hay storage shed and a small shop. My home is on one acre, but 25 miles from the farm.

farmerjack, my aunt and uncle sold off all their acreages growing wheat in utah. The new owner needed help so the uncle stayed as a consultant, and then running machines to harvest. That was only supposed to last for a year or so, but it goes on and everyone seems happy with that.

I had to retire from farming in 1992 because of my health. It was tough at first because it was not on my terms. Took 2 years to get my health back to where I could work full time. Worked for the city for 16 years and had to retire again, at 55. Have enjoyed the 9 years since. Life goes on....James

Take heart that you sold to a person who wants to continue to use the land for crops - not a subdivision. And kudos for finding a like-minded buyer as it is hard to do these days.
