From living and working on the family farm that has been in the family and worked by family for well over 200 yrs, I noticed another change in atmosphere here when each grandparents passing come to be. Each time it was like the passing of a legendary guard so to speak and the train of thought of the way things should be could waiver slightly. I have seen it before locally where the grandkids really wanted to farm the homeplace, but were denied till way later on after they had bought or rented more land and equipment which proved they were serious about they're desires to tend it. Ultimately they are farming it now. At the time they both had excellent jobs off of the farm and were busy which may have suaded the grandparents to shy away from letting it initially proceed upon 1st discussion of it. This possibly could be a same case situation you have that comes to mind locally. If you are serious about farming, can you buy or rent another tract of land in the meantime to more or less prove yourself that you have the desire and are serious about it ? There are 2 things that will cross up a family farm and that is money and land. In your case you sound like you're dealing with both devils. Working with family on a farm whether it's strictly business or in general labor wise can be tough. I've worked alongside my dad and grandparents on this one since I could walk and I'm 42 now. I wish you luck and maybe after the initial shock of your grandaddy's passing, the idea of you renting or buying the farm will warm up to those who are in charge.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
