"One grandson that might have interest but i just dont want him to have the stress ive had over the years."

That's not your decision to make! Give the boy the opportunity and let him make his own choices!!
If he doesn't want it no hard feelings and sell as you wish. But tell him he can't have it and you're ensuring your grave is regular watered with urine.


How would it not be his decision to make? It's his farm. Are we all required to continue our occupation into the grave just in case some family member down the line may like to take it over? What kind of family turmoil will he cause by helping one grandson into a multi million dollar operation anyway?
Farming is just an occupation, not some sort of birth right. There's no crown to hand down. Are carpenters required to swing hammers into their 80s just incase a grandson down the line wants to be a contractor? What about every other business you know of, are they all required to hold it for future generations? Will they pee on grand dad's grave for not giving them the business?
